We explore the physics of falling bodies by dropping various balls from the 15th floor (estimated to be about 45 to 50 metres) of a building and compare it with drops from lower heights. Check this article and the associated video first, as we discuss the physics behind that activity here. When an object such… Continue reading Ball-drop from a tall building (a la Galileo)

Physics at home
What is this session about Scientifically rigorous experiments at home How could we do quantitative school science experiments at home with commonly available material? Connect everyday phenomena to school Physics Can we recognise and appreciate Physics phenomena at home? Can we pedagogize these, i.e. connect them to formal Physics? What do we discuss in this… Continue reading Physics at home
