2.
Teaching liquid crystals with a wood model

The anisotropic structure of wood is used for models of liquid crystalline strutures. Models are used for the analysis of their optical properties in the microwave range. Wood models present isotropic, nematic iand holesteric liquid crystals and allow for compariosn of optical properties of wood and liquid crystals.

How to teach liquid crystals

The pilot teaching unit on liquid crystals is presented. The set of experiments that can easily be constructed by teachers and students is discussed and their role in the teaching unit is presented.
