Re: [Phys-l] display case



Display cases are relatively easy to build. I put one together many years ago, but it was in a college physics department and I had considerable help from the resident machine shop guy. As for depth, just think ahead and figure out what kinds of demos you might want to put in it. Also consider having a large number of outlets, most of them operated by push buttons on the outside, so the displays can be interactive. The one I built had three separate compartments, so you could include widely varying demos.

I teach in the high school and plan to get a hallway display case to
highlight physics. I am wondering if any of you have such a thing and can
recommend a case. I want it to be low enough so that our youngest students
an have a look. I would also like it to have an outlet/light for any
optics displays. How deep should it be? It will have a security lock.

Cost is really not an issue. Just want something I can easily change every
month to show different physics topics, awards, projects, etc.
