- Baník I., Baník R.: Three Tricks from Optics, Fair 6, Olomouc 2001
Three interesting optics experiments. A determination of index of refraction of water relative to air by a one-line method. A construction of a mirror from a Tic-Tac box and a wooden board. Making of concave lens from a rotating glass of water.

- Dvořák L.: More Ideas from Malá Hraštice, This Time with Water, Fair 22, Olomouc 2017
The paper describes a few experiments with water conducted at the spring assembly in Malá Hraštice: 1) the effect of diamagnetism of water on the water surface above the magnet, 2) the apparent depth of an object in water when watching from different angles, 3) a simple measurement of water viscosity and 4) a vertical and horizontal ‘throwing of water’ with the use of a plastic syringe and their connection to the continuity equation.
