The following are some of the details regarding work with materials that had to be done for various activities/experiments.

• Dielectrics:
  Measuring relative dielectric constant, measuring breakdown voltage.

  Dielectrics (Updated June 12 - barium titanate K=27!)

• Piezoelectrics:
  Making homemade piezoelectric crystals, testing crystal ignitor from a barbeque lighter.

  Piezoelectric crystals made of rochelle salt (homemade)
