Physics demonstration films
This series of videos have been produced by the National STEM Learning Centre and the Institute of Physics. They are mostly aimed at teachers and illustrate how to perform simple demonstrations and use particular pieces of equipment. Some topics have versions of the video that could be used with students in the classroom. The topics covered in the videos are:
- Demonstrating diffraction using laser light
- Using an electron diffraction tube
- Using a Van de Graaff generator
- A simple wave machine
- Creating a bin-bag capacitor
- Using an oscilloscope
- Illustrating the movement of particles in Brownian motion
- Demonstrating the process of electromagnetic induction
- Compressing a gas in a fire piston
- Using a signal generator to illustrate waves and sound
- Transmission of electricity along power lines
- Creating a simple electric motor
- Static electricity and charge with an 'electric sausage'
- Gravity and the motion of projectiles with the Monkey and Hunter demonstration
- Demonstrating thermal conductivity

Monkey and Hunter
From the National STEM Learning Centre, this short video illustrates the effect of gravity on a projectile's motion by using a classic physics demonstration called the Monkey and the Hunter. If a hunter fires horizontally at a monkey in a tree, and simultaneously the monkey releases their grip to fall off the tree...
Thermal conductivity
These two short videos, produced by the National STEM Learning Centre, illustrate the process of thermal conductivity. The first video shows a demonstration of thermal conductivity using ice, plastic and aluminium...
