This collection of over 100 examples of simple physics demonstrations and experiments seeks to dispel the myths that Physics in highly abstract, dauntingly complex, user-unfriendly, and remote from everyday life. Intentionally using “low-tech” and inexpensive materials from everyday life, this book humanizes key principles of physics, and shows how the best demonstrations are the simplest ones. The fact that they also save money is an added bonus. An essential resource for Physics teachers, students, and anyone with even the slightest interest in Physics.
