You didn't say what your major is.

What is your major? Clearly not orthography. What year in high school?

Every kid and his/her dog does LED flashers. Instead, do something with an LM3914, using 10 LEDs to actually measure something. Physics is about measurement, isn't it. You can measure anything that you can turn into an electrical signal. That means you can have one 'indicator' module that accepts many different 'input' modules that measure different things:

temperature light level magnetic field strength and direction voltage current resistance wind speed liquid level

Substitute an LM3915 and you can give your indicator a log scale with a

30:1 magnitude range.

No, you are not a Physics teacher.

Perhaps you are talking about physical education in which case you might qualify as a cheerleader looking forward to graduating as a Hooters Girl.

However, since you are posting to SED, I would suggest you look into magnetic levitation. I built one at school once using the bits and pieces available in the Physics lab along with an LDR, light bulb and a 2N3055 with what might have been a 2N2905 and some resistors.

Ooooooh and a chuffing big heatsink.

If you get it right then you can make an eight inch nail with a cork on its end hover in mid air. Warwick University were doing this sort of stuff with ball bearings and PDP11s but they were poofs back in those days. However you are guaranteed that your first formers will be suitably unimpressed.

If you get bored you can plug all the oscillators into each other along with some oscilloscopes plus an amplifier and loudspeaker and go totally Brian Eno.

You're a physics teacher who can't spell and can't punctuate? And can't think up a simple physics project?

how about Lego robots. They look like fun, and I wish I was many years younger

How about a HANDS-ON demonstration of sexual positions ?:-)

Oh. And I thought you were a Google Groups user. Your post sounded a lot like it.

I think a student is posing as a teacher for effect. Or maybe it's a matter of poor English; the words in other languages can confuse translation.

Go to the school library, and ask the librarian for a physics textbook.

Read it.

You will learn a great many things.

Good Luck! Rich

go to the site

A caver's wrist sundial, obviously.
