Demonstrations of Various Physical Principles
http://www.engr.colostate.edu/~dga/video_demos/index.html
Video clips demonstrating various principles of dynamics, mechanisms, vibration and sound, mechatronics and measurement systems, pool and billiards, solid mechanics, and other fields of physics and engineering.

Electrostatic Machines
http://www.coe.ufrj.br/~acmq/electrostatic.html
Construction details and history of the classic electrostatic generators. Very detailed and descriptive site, with pictures and directions for a wide variety of generators.

Henry Greenside's Duke Physics Challenges
http://www.phy.duke.edu/%7Ehsg/physics-challenges/challenges.html

HowStuffWorks: How Hydraulic Cranes Work
http://www.howstuffworks.com/hydraulic-crane.htm
Animations and photos show how these cranes are able to lift thousands of pounds using hydraulics, and how these machines are operated.

Industrial Electrostatics Demonstrations
http://www.ece.rochester.edu/~jones/demos/
The project described at this web page was undertaken to develop a set of demonstrations having clear relevance to manufacturing and commercial operations. Some of these demonstrations should also serve to augment the science teacher's or hobbyist's bag of tricks by making it easier to reinforce the relationship between basic principles and practical situations.

Jearl Walker Discusses the Flying Circus
http://www.csuohio.edu/physics/walker/JWNOTES2.html
Reflects on successes and failures doing the 'bed of nails' trick, and tells how to get videotapes of some of his shows.

NC State Physics Demonstrations Collection
http://www.physics.ncsu.edu/demoroom/resources.html
Comprehensive set of physics demonstration sites.

Patterns in Nature
http://acept.la.asu.edu/PiN/
Entry page for the Patterns in Nature course at Arizona State University. This course integrates topics from light, optics, microscopy, and physics. Many assigned activities are simple experiments.

Physics Animations
http://physics.nad.ru/
Animated experiments and visualizations on physics with theoretical explanations. There is also a physics forum, free samples and educational programs for download.

Physics Demonstration Lab
http://www.tau.ac.il/~simcha/index.htm
School of Physics and Astronomy, Tel aviv University. Demonstrations available at the school, and related links.

Physics Demonstration Resources On-Line for Science Educators
http://www.ph.utexas.edu/%7ephy-demo/resources/resources.html
For physics educators interested in developing demonstrations. Provides links to many colleges' demo resources.

Physics Demonstrations - Introduction
http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/demobook/intro.htm
Physics demonstrations, descriptions, discussions of the physics, and hazards to avoid. Groupings are light, magnetism, electricity, sound, heat, and motion.

Physics Demonstrations and Science Exhibits
http://www.amasci.com/scied.html
Part of Bill Beaty's amateur scientist pages. Includes many links to his and other demonstration sources.

Physics Demos and Science Exhibit Designs
http://www.eskimo.com/~billb/scied.html
Links to useful demo sites, descriptions of dangerous and not-so-dangerous electrical demonstrations, and some unusual scientific projects.

Physics Lecture Demonstrations, a Compilation
http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/scenario/demos.htm
Lecture demonstrations for physics courses, compiled and annotated by Dr. Donald Simanek. Reads like a storybook.

PIRA 200 Demo List
http://www.wfu.edu/physics/pira/pira200/pira200.htm
A collection of 200 physics demos believed by professionals to be essential in teaching about the most common physics phenomena. Demos are sorted by topic and illustrated.

PIRA 200, the Top 200 Most Popular Physics Demonstrations
http://www.physics.ncsu.edu/pira/pira200.html
Contains a descriptive list of the 200 most common and most used physics demonstrations, as determined by a large committee of physics instructors and lab managers.

PIRA Physics Demonstration Bibliography
http://www.physics.ncsu.edu/pira/
This demonstration bibliography contains about 7500 entries including all of Sutton, Freier & Anderson, Meiners, Hilton, AJP, The Video Encyclopedia of Physics Demonstrations, the Minnesota Demonstration Handbook, a few articles from the Physics Teacher, and listings of the PIRA 200, PIRA 500, and PIRA 1000 demonstrations.

PIRT
http://pirt.asu.edu/
Arizona State University physics and astronomy demonstrations.

Pre-College Demonstration Book List
http://www.physics.umd.edu/lecdem/outreach/bklst.htm
Annotated list of books for physics and physical science demonstrations as well as science fair projects.

Static Generator, Electrical Demonstration
http://www.alaska.net/~natnkell/staticgen.htm
How to make and use a frictional static electricity generator which makes HUGE sparks. Also, links to other electricity demos on the internet.

Tarzan Swing
http://www.yk.psu.edu/stem/tarzan.html
Tarzan (a water balloon) is swinging on a thread which is cut by a hot wire mid-flight; students must project Tarzan safely through a hole surrounded by pins.

The Physics Question of the Week
http://www.physics.umd.edu/lecdem/outreach/QOTW/active/questions.htm
From the University of Maryland Department of Physics. Each week a new question will be posted and the answer for the previous Question of the Week will be shown. The questions involve real experimental physics, so part of the answers will be photographs and short videos of the experiments carried out in determining the results.

TOPS Science
http://www.topscience.org/
TOPS Learning Systems, a nonprofit educational publisher, dedicated to making inexpensive, creative, hands-on science and math available everywhere.
