-I'd like a meter stick, flashlight, and a thin aluminum plate approximately 10 cm x 10 cm, suspended from two strings about 20 cm long. The idea is that I shine the flashlight on the plate, and see if it moves (kind of like a ballistic pendulum). Thanks.2017-09-07

-I'd like a light bulb connected to a variac (or similar) so that I can turn a knob and the light bulb goes from off to dull red to bright white. A non-frosted light bulb would be best, so we can see the actual filament glowing.2017-10-17
-I'd like a battery, switch, and resistor (light bulb) wired in a simple circuit, so when I slip the switch, the light bulb glows. I'd like about 1 meter of wire between the battery/switch and the light bulb. I'd like a similar set-up with an ac power source (110V, 60 Hz is ok), and again a switch and light bulb, with again about 1 meter of wires between the switch and the light bulb. 2017-08-31
-I meant superball.2017-11-09
-1. Rubber ball, like a supernal. 2. I'd like a simple electrical circuit, with a battery and light bulb, and two wires going to alligator clips. When I touch the alligator clip together, the light bulb should light (I will bring my own switch that the alligator clips connect to). 2017-11-09
