Tips - physics video experiments

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on finding high-quality motivational physics experiment videos suitable for high school students, particularly from universities or professional organizations. Suggestions include exploring the Royal Institution's YouTube channels, specifically the "Tales from Prep Room" series, which features accessible experiments. Participants recommend using Google and YouTube to search for university-specific experiments by combining the university name with relevant topics. Additionally, the PF media gallery's experiments section is mentioned as a potential resource. One contributor also notes their own collection of experiments available on a personal website and YouTube channel, although they caution that the content may not align with all forum policies due to its faith-based nature.

Hello.
In my bachelor thesis I make motivational video experiments in physics (for high schools).

I want to mention some already existing videos. I know videos from our country or channels from YouTube. However if I'm looking for some videos from Universities or professional organizations, it's a problem. I have some ideas, but I think you maybe know about something better.

Do you have any tip? Do you know any university that shoots physical experiments (understandable for high schools)? Or some article?

Thank you very much.

Not a university, but have you seen the experiments by Sir Lawrence Bragg at the Royal Institution? Most of them are at high school level.

The Royal Institution has done a large number of experiments over many years. Visit the Royal Institution and Ri Archives channels on YouTube. Especially the Tales from Prep Room series.

I believe google and youtube are your friends. You can perform a search with the university name and the topic of experiments, and if something exists publicly, Google should bring that up. Choose some university and begin searching.

In addition, pay a visit to the expriments section in PF media gallery. You might get good ideas.

Addendum: While searching in YouTube, I found this course. A number of experiments have been shown here. Do have a look.

I have a number of them at my Carmel Academy website and YouTube channel, but they may violate PF policies to link directly in the forum due to faith-based content. Nice experiments though, and not too hard to edit out the faith-based parts if you find them objectionable. If you are interested, PM me and I will reply with a link. My video experiments are designed for high schools and also designed to be inexpensive to replicate. (Private faith-based schools and home schools have nowhere near the resources as most public schools in the US.)

I deeply respect people who are engaged in self-education. Nevertheless the problem of self-education is as follows. A person reads textbooks and forms his own opinion about what he has read. Then he tries to solve a problem and faces the fact that his answer is not equal to the one in the end of the book. Then he goes to specialists and asks them what the story is. He expects that specialists will help him to solve the problem and they will do that by using his own understandings and...
