Physics Project list

 Here is Some list of Physics Project. Either choose one from this list or do as your interest.

  • Investigate how factors like length, mass, and angle of release affect the period of a simple pendulum.
  • Create experiments demonstrating Newton’s three laws of motion, such as using a trolley on a track to show inertia, acceleration, and action-reaction pairs.
  • Explore the physics behind projectile motion by launching different objects and analysing their trajectories.
  • Examine the effects of friction by sliding various materials across different surfaces and measuring the forces involved.
  • Investigate the efficiency of simple machines like levers, pulleys, and inclined planes by calculating the work input and output.
  • Construct a basic motor using wires, a magnet, and a battery, and explore how electromagnetic forces cause rotation.
    • Map out the magnetic field around different shapes of magnets using iron filings or a compass.
    • Design a simple transformer to understand how voltage is increased or decreased in an AC circuit.
    • Set up an experiment to observe how moving a magnet through a coil generates an electric current.
    • Create an electromagnet and explore how factors like the number of coils and the strength of the current affect its magnetic field.
    • Investigate how convex and concave lenses bend light and experiment with creating images at different focal lengths.
      • Build a periscope and study the principles of reflection and refraction that allow it to work.
      • Use a prism to split white light into its component colours and explore the factors that affect the dispersion of light.
      • Study how light behaves when it passes from one medium to another and under what conditions total internal reflection occurs.
      • Build a simple model to understand how lenses in the eye focus light onto the retina and explore common vision problems like myopia and hyperopia.
      • Create a basic model of a heat engine, such as a Stirling engine, to understand how heat energy is converted into mechanical work.
        • Compare conduction, convection, and radiation by setting up experiments to see how different materials and conditions affect heat transfer.
        • Demonstrate the first or second law of thermodynamics with experiments involving heat transfer and energy conservation.
        • Determine the specific heat capacity of various substances by heating them and measuring the temperature change.
        • Test different materials to see how well they insulate against heat and investigate which is the most effective.
        • Explore how light of different wavelengths causes electrons to be emitted from a metal surface, illustrating the quantum nature of light.
          • Design experiments to measure the half-life of radioactive materials or study the radiation types emitted by different sources.
          • Create a thought experiment or model to explain the basics of Einstein’s theory of relativity, such as time dilation or the equivalence of mass and energy.
          • Look into how particles can pass through potential barriers that they seemingly shouldn’t be able to, a key concept in quantum mechanics.
          • Conduct experiments to show how light can behave as a wave and particle, depending on the experimental setup.

            Innovative & Interdisciplinary Projects

          • Analyse the physics behind different sports, such as the forces involved in a football kick or the aerodynamics of a baseball pitch.
            • Create working models of renewable energy sources, such as a solar-powered water heater or a wind turbine, to study the physics behind sustainable energy.
            • Explore how physical principles apply to biological systems, like modelling blood flow in arteries or investigating the mechanics of muscle movement.
            • Investigate the physics behind musical instruments, the principles of light and shadow in painting, or the materials science behind sculptures.
            • Study the effects of pollution on the atmosphere by simulating the greenhouse effect or measuring the impact of different pollutants on air quality.
