Volume 4, Issue 1, January, 2010
From the Editors
Dear Reader,
The January, 2010 issue of the International School Bangkok Journal of Physics sees the beginning of our fourth year of publishing. Over the past several issues we have elected to publish papers that deal with a very limited aspect of a topic. We have done this because our goal is both to offer our students an opportunity to publish their original scientific research, and to stimulate future students with ideas for further research.
We have begun to see research conducted by our students which has been stimulated by papers published in past issues of our Journal. We are happy to see this as it indicates that our students are learning to participate in a community of researchers. The LED paper in this issue is an extension of a paper published in June, 2008. The other two papers in this issue, on superballs and water craters, are extensions of unpublished research conducted by former students. Several of the papers being considered for publication in the June, 2010 issue are also drawn from past Journal papers.
The research was conducted by the authors and the papers were written by the authors and edited in consultation with the Editors. Papers were peer-reviewed by the Editors. If you have any comments on the papers published in this issue, or would like to consult with the authors on their results, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Eales

Volume 4, Issue 2, June, 2010
From the Editors
Dear Reader,
The beauty of being a physicist is that there is physics everywhere you look. But much of the physics in the small nooks and crannies of our lives has never been fully investigated, mostly because there’s no money in it. This makes it possible for high school student-physicists to conduct and publish truly original research. Many of our papers, like the double ball bounce paper this issue, are of a fun and whimsical nature, yet they are all valid and original research. They discover something about a corner of our world that was not known before.
The research for the papers in this issue was conducted by the authors and the papers were written by the authors and edited in consultation with the Editors. Papers were peer-reviewed by the Editors. If you have any comments on the papers published in this issue, or would like to consult with the authors on their results, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
