Students and teachers can investigate some pretty interesting stuff without requiring a laboratory or expensive equipment. The Physics from the Junk Drawer resources linked below include activities on basic measurements, motion & forces, electrostatics & magnetism, sound, light, and many other fun physics investigations.

Many of these activities can serve as teacher demonstrations or hands-on student activities. Whenever possible, we use simple, inexpensive materials you might have at home. You can use the activities at a variety of grade levels from K-12. Each activity includes directions, questions, material lists, and tips for carrying it out. Have fun with Physics!
