Physics fast and frugal: Dollar Store demos
Physics is everywhere, just waiting to be explored.
So when more than 40 high school teachers from around the world gathered at Perimeter Institute for the annual EinsteinPlus workshop, we gave them a unique challenge: to demonstrate physics, quick and cheap.
They rose to the occasion. Check out their Dollar Store Demos:
Inspired by the teachers, we created some fast and frugal physics recipes you can try at home. Kids, ask for help from a grown-up!

About PI
Perimeter Institute is the world’s largest research hub devoted to theoretical physics. The independent Institute was founded in 1999 to foster breakthroughs in the fundamental understanding of our universe, from the smallest particles to the entire cosmos. Research at Perimeter is motivated by the understanding that fundamental science advances human knowledge and catalyzes innovation, and that today’s theoretical physics is tomorrow’s technology. Located in the Region of Waterloo, the not-for-profit Institute is a unique public-private endeavour, including the Governments of Ontario and Canada, that enables cutting-edge research, trains the next generation of scientific pioneers, and shares the power of physics through award-winning educational outreach and public engagement.
