There are a few Physics experiments Rob uses that do not fit neatly into a collection. BTW are you familiar with The Physics Classroom? Explore the units under the Algebra Based On-Level Physics
What’s Your Horsepower? In this lab teens thunder up and down the basement stairs. Boys see every event as a competition. He’s had students meet outside class to compete for the greatest amount of horsepower.
Measure the Speed of Light (fruit roll-ups), mini marshmallows, or chocolate chips involves nuking food in a microwave. Easy Peasy.
Egg Toss is traditionally performed by hand or with a sheet. Rob gets out cookie sheets; teen toss and catch raw eggs with the cookie sheets. The trick is to slightly drop the sheet as the egg touches the sheet pan. Do this outside.
Laser Jello is another staple. Each time I have to pull the Jello Jiggler recipe and Exploratorium link.
