This is a digital collection of physics demonstrations that can be performed with common household items or easily-obtained materials. Topics include motion, heat, sound, electricity and magnetism, and light. It is part of a more extensive collection of physics demos, which may be purchased in book or DVD format on the website.
This resource is part of a Physics Front Topical Unit.
Topic: Digital Collections: Physics and Physical Science
Unit Title: Online Resource Collections This website offers lesson plans on more than 70 demonstrations for use in introductory physics classrooms. All demos have been fully tested in the classroom and were selected for inclusion because they are enjoyable, thought- provoking, and require minimal set-up. Historical anecdotes and commentary add to the depth of this unique resource. Link to Unit:
