Item is a book kept by James Dinwiddie containing notes about lectures at the Royal Institution (April 21, 1810 - May 26, 1811). Dinwiddie notes that he did not attend the first two lectures.
This series of notes written by James Dinwiddie begins with a series of questions and answers related to various topics in physics. The notes continue with a series of questions and answers in mechanics followed by expanded notes on gravity. The last section outlines centrifugal forces.
Item is a two-part notebook kept by James Dinwiddie in which he makes observations about projectiles, their trajectory motion, acceleration and the opposing force of gravity.
These notes written by James Dinwiddie examine a number of topics in physics including gravity, force, velocity, light, and mirrors. Dinwiddie also mentions the classical natural philosophers Sappho, Archimedes, and Hermes.
File contains prints and proof sheets of photographs taken during high school tours of the Sir James Dunn Science Building and possibly the Life Science Centre at Dalhousie University. Most of the photographs were taken during a tour by students from Oxford Regional High School and show Dr. G. Stroink and Ralph Deveau demonstrating science experiments.
File contains three copies of a photograph of Prof. H. A. Bumstead making a vacuum to split atoms at Cambridge University in the Cavendish Laboratory. A. S. MacKenzie is visible in the background, measuring a magnetic field.
File consists of a photograph of "a succession of physicists" including: Howard Bronsn, E. W. Guptill, W. J. Archibald, and J. H. L. Johnstone. The photograph was selected for inclusion in the publication "The Lives of Dalhousie University, Vol. 2" by Peter B. Waite (page 237).
