Physics experiments high school

This blog suggests a few ways to capture the interest of high school physics students. Physics can be a daunting subject for many kids and you certainly don't want to lose their interest right from the beginning of the course. Check out what I have to say!

Easy Physics Experiments for Kids- These experiments make learning about physics a great deal of fun. They can be used to teach students of all ages, too!

Discover waves you never node about.

What in the world can you do on the day before Spring Break in Physics class with a bunch of senior boys who just want to be done with school? (To be fair, I have girls in the class too, but they are much more willing to sit down and listen, even on the day before Spring Break!) I searched pinterest and websites and came across this website Mystery Bag Challenge. I felt like I could adapt this idea to fit my class. I used the idea from the blog I mentioned and decided to try the Pom Pom…

We studied physics and electricity a bit last school year with Electricity and Magnetism, by Colleen Kessler from RaisingLifelongLearners.com, and Snap Circuits. So when I broke out this steel wool 9-volt battery experiment, my children

In this Why is the Sky Blue science experiment, little learners can see for themselves how the blue wavelength is scattered faster than the red light from the sun. The simple experiment needs only a

Incredible physics demonstration! It’s called the Centripetal Force Board, and it will help you experience the physics and forces at play when three plastic cups of water leave you high, dry, and with new hands-on science topics in mind.

Teaching labs for high school physics is made simpler with the use of the Quality Science Labs kit. Overall review of the product, including photos in use.

This is the best STEM Challenge for your upper elementary students. Check this post full of tips about trying the resource- Build a Newton's Cradle!

I do this more as an activity than anything else. I end up trying to cover electricity and magnetism in about two weeks, not anywhere near what is needed. I try to make the material relevant becaus…
