Tips - physics video experiments

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on sourcing motivational physics video experiments suitable for high school students. Participants recommend the Royal Institution's YouTube channels, particularly the "Tales from Prep Room" series, as a valuable resource. Additionally, users suggest searching for university-specific experiments on Google and YouTube to find publicly available content. The conversation also highlights the importance of accessible and replicable experiments for educational purposes.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of high school physics concepts
  • Familiarity with YouTube as an educational resource
  • Basic research skills for locating academic content online
  • Knowledge of video editing for educational purposes
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the Royal Institution and Ri Archives YouTube channels
  • Search for university physics experiment videos on Google and YouTube
  • Visit the experiments section in the PF media gallery
  • Investigate faith-based educational content for high school physics
USEFUL FOR

High school educators, physics enthusiasts, content creators in educational media, and anyone seeking to enhance physics teaching through video experiments.

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.)
