Quality Educational Demonstrations is a new company with new ideas about physics demonstrations. Our demonstration equipment is innovative, user-friendly, and unforgettable.
In this workshop we will present our newest physics demonstration products, including:
A state-of-the-art wine glass breaker that works every time, with only 75W of total amplifier power.
A powerful bar-graph measurement and display system, with 10 plug-and-play sensors, that performs over 25 separate demonstrations with unparalleled impact and clarity.
An ultrabright point-source LED strobe for shadow projection of SHM oscillations.
A collapsible smoke ring cannon that eliminates storage issues.
An extremely versatile color mixer that demonstrates both additive and subtractive color mixing in striking new ways.
A siren in a vacuum that clearly shows the effects of a vacuum on both sound and electromagnetic wave transmission.
If your physics demonstration collection could use a boost, come to the QED workshop and find out just how effective and fun demonstrations can be!
If you can’t attend the workshop, please drop by our booth or visit our website at www.qedsci.com for a look at our products.

Help your students learn with WebAssign. Find out what’s new. WebAssign, the premier independent online homework, quizzing, and testing system, is proud to debut our new program designed to support your laboratory needs.
This workshop will include an overview of WebAssign, teaching you how to access and assign questions from all major physics and astronomy textbooks, or write your own. You’ll learn more about new assignable simulations, assignable examples with content specific hints and feedback, more online components and tutorials all specific to your textbook. Give partial credit with conditional weighting. Assign practice questions. Give group assignments. Select questions for your assignment knowing how difficult each question is and how many students have tried it before.
We will introduce you to WebAssignLabs, our innovative approach to help you prepare your students for the lab experience, collect their lab data, analysis, and report-all using WebAssign.
WebAssign Novices and WebAssign Experts (and all those in-between) will find something new and exciting in this workshop.
Over 3 Million students have successfully used WebAssign. Find out why?
