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.
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
