Classical Home Experiment / Demo / Training Kit for students to use at home?

AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for secondary school-level Physics Demo home kits cover various topics including mechanics, optics, sound, and electricity/magnetism. While many available options are not commercial kits, users may need to gather materials and equipment themselves. Safety warnings are common, emphasizing the need for caution during experiments. Resources like the DIY Projects Forum and Carolina Scientific offer materials aimed at schools, which can inspire home learning despite not being specifically designed for it. A collection of English demos is available online, with additional resources accessible in Danish, providing further ideas for at-home science experiments.

Physics Demo home kits
A search finds quite a few, mostly not commercial "kits", so you might need to acquire materials and equipment. They often have safety warnings, but take care.
 
Carolina Scientific sells stuff like this targeted at schools. Of course, that's not a great fit for at home learning. But when I looked at their website I thought it was a good source to steal ideas from. Just looking at the pictures might give you some good ideas for "at home" science.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
