==Description==
Blowing across the lip of a glass coke or beer bottle partially filled with liquid creates a sound due to resonance within the bottle cavity.

==Equipment==
*glass bottle
*strong lungs

==Instructions==
Partially fill the bottle with water and gently blow across the lip of the bottle. The tone will depend on the size of the cavity within the bottle.

==Keywords==

==Description==
A ball on the end of a hinged stick falls into a cup mounted on the stick. Also known as "faster than gravity" or "falling chimney".

==Equipment==
*wooden pieces attached with the hinge
*stick
*ball
*bubble level (optional)

==Instructions==
Use the stick to separate the two pieces of wood at an angle and place the ball on top of the tee. Swiftly remove the stick by grabbing or hitting it and the ball should fall directly into the cup as the two pieces of wood collide.

==Description==
A hunter spies a monkey in a tree, takes aim, and fires. At the moment the bullet leaves the gun the monkey lets go of the tree branch and drops straight down. Does the hunter's bullet hit the monkey?
 
To simulate this experiment, a ballbearing is aimed upwards at a suspended metal disc. When the ballbearing is shot, the disc is released. The ballbearing will hit the disc because their vertical acceleration is equal.

==Equipment==
* Monkey (Metal plate in front of his body is for hearing the sound of impact)
* Projectile Launcher (barrel modified for a 3/8" ball bearing)
* Arduino Uno
* Electromagnet
* "C" clamp with post
* 2 quick-grip
* Power cord
* Power bar

==Instructions==
Intruct please.

Back to [[5A_-_Electrostatics|5A - Electrostatics]] 
PIRA index: 5A10.10

==Description==
Some material holds on to their electron better than others. Therefore, rubbing different materials together can cause a transfer of charge between them. The direction of the transfer of charge depends on the material, the surfaces shape, temperature and strain. The effect is consistent between two specific objects, but is not very predictable in general.

==Equipment==
* Piece of material that gives their electron easily: fur, glass, wool, etc
* Piece of material that doesn't give their electron easily: plastic, styrofoam, rubber, etc.
* Electroscope

==Instructions==
* Bring each object close to the electroscope to show their neutrality
* Rub the two object together.
* Bring each of them close to an electroscope to show the charge the gathered.

==Keywords==
electrophorus,electroscope, fur, rubber.
