The Little Shop of Physics is Colorado State University's Hands-On Science Outreach Program, so let us go-on a web site review from your computer and start with common household items for your own physics experiments.
The first physics experiment is to take a small and a large ball, place the small one on top of the large one and drop them at the same time. Wonder what happens?
The second experiment requires a condiment package (like ketchup) and a two liter empty bottle and see what happens. Well you get the idea, common household items, the excitement as to what happens will surely have your interest.
You can also do experiments from your computer and add some more excitement by using the Shockwave-plug ins. But the Cyclone of Science could be a school near your school, where dedicated science teachers bring to life the world of physics. Who knows you may be our next physics expert, so take a look at the other features of the web site which include photographs, ask for a visit to your school and the everyday science show.
