Physics lecture demonstrations

We have a large number of demonstrations available to help liven up the student experience in the lecture hall or class room. We can set up the demonstration for you on campus.
Outside organizations such as schools and colleges are also welcome to borrow any of these demonstrations.
Refer to the list and the explanatory notes to see if there is anything suitable. We always welcome new suggestions!
To get a lecture demonstration or make a suggestion email andrew.papworth@anu.edu.au.
