Electrostatics
Anura and Leah do several demos with the Van de Graaff.

Mirrors Images
Kyle shows a candle burning at both ends.

LEDs
Jim demonstrates AC voltage changes using LEDs.

Eye Rentention
Using a slide projector and a meter stick swept in front of the projector, John and Justin demonstrates how the eye retains images..

3D Images
Justin and John show 3D images of shadows using red and blue beams from two slide projectors.

Soap Film and Turbulence
Shelly demonstrates bubbles made from a flowing film of soap water. Light was projected through the film to observe turbulence on a screen.

Polarity of Water Molecules
Justin and John use light from a projector to observe how a stream of neutral water can be deflected by electric charge from a plastic rod.

Electrostatics
Jim does several demonstrations using the Wimshurst Machine.

Eddy Currents
Jim and Justin demonstrate induction and eddy currents by dropping a magnet through a copper pipe.

Lissajous Figures
John and Justing demonstrate how Lissajous figures can by made using two mirrors and a pen light.

Diffraction
Jim demonstrates optical diffraction.

Refraction
Justin and John demonstrate optical refraction by sending light through water.
