Experiments for Schools

Some of these are well known, and are documented here just in case you have not seen them. We are trying to collect simple or cheap experiments, ones that you can make yourself but which also relate to particle physics. Not easy, but here are some interesting ideas.

 calculation of muon lifetime

detecting the polarity of electric charge

muon induced electromagnetic cascades in lead 

 new experiments

pendulum experiments

some simple experiments we did in 2000

standard experiments

waves, magnets and motion - a variety of experiments
