Demonstration Experiments in Physics

Many physics departments list their demonstration experiments on a website.Some sites have detailed descriptions and photographs so that these demonstrations can easily be reproduced.The Physics Instructional Resource Association (PIRA) maintins an excellent bibliography of demonstration experiments.
