AI Thread Summary
Lab kits for adults are available for various scientific experiments, including Chemistry and Biology, but options for Physics are less common. While Mechanical Physics projects can be done with basic materials, Particle Physics experiments typically require specialized equipment like a Cyclotron. A suggestion was made to look into building a cloud chamber, which can be constructed affordably and allows for particle observation. Resources such as the MythBusters website provide DIY project ideas using inexpensive materials. Exploring these options can help adults engage in scientific experimentation effectively.

WHere can I find a lab kit? One that let's you do experiments. I know they have them for kids, what about adults?

I've seen kits for Chemistry and Biology but what about Physics? I can see Mechanical Physics but how can you do projects in Particle Physics without a Cyclotron?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I don't know if this is what you mean, but I remember seeing an article on how to build your own cloud chamber on the cheap. I'm pretty sure that it was in the Amateur Scientist column of SciAm. A back-issue search might turn it up. Where you would get your particles is another matter.
 
Cloud Chamber?
 
Hey

Go to the myth busters site, they did a couple that you can make out of cheap materials.

Take care,

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
