Several proposals on how to use modern technical devices and equipment common in households when teaching physics. A measurement of strength of Velcro. Examination of the infrared radiation emitted by the remote control. Comparison of illumination by a compact fluorescent light and a common light bulb using a photometer. Measurement of a lattice constant of a CD, application of a CD as a spectrometer. A principle of phototropic glass, analysis of its reaction to illumination by different sources.

Those familiar with a term interferometer tend to imagine a complex and very precise apparatus that creates peculiar light patterns. The paper tries to show not only how interferometer itself works but also how to make it yourself be it at home or at school.
- Polák Z.: CD Experiments, Fair 8, České Budějovice 2003
Measuring of mechanical and other properties of a CD, simple experiments with a CD (13 guides in total). A description of some parts of a CD-ROM and eight related experiments.
- Polák Z.: Electromagnetic Waves in Experiments, Fair 16, Olomouc 2011
In this article it is presented how to demonstrate most of the fundamental experiments concerning electromagnetic waves propagation with the use of radio receiver, TV set and video cassette recorder (VCR).
