- Böhm P.: Experiments with Scales, Fair 22, Olomouc 2017
The paper describes two experiments using digital scales. The first part describes the mass changes when a candle and steel wool are burned. The second part deals with a body submerged in a fluid and (non)dependency of the buoyancy force on mass.
- Dvořák L.: A Bit of Heuristics from Malá Hraštice, Fair 5, Praha 2000
A few ideas from the assembly of students of the Department of Physics Education FMP CU. A guide on how to make a string phone with echoes, balance based on the Archimedes’ law, apparatus for measuring the Young’s modulus of jam, dumplings etc., amplifier constructed so that it picks up a magnet pendulum passing through its balance position. Everything is made of commonly available resources.
- Dvořák L.: How to weigh using ammeter and voltmeter or Make your own (almost) Kibble scales, Fair 25, Praha 2020
The paper describes two experiments concerning free fall of systems combining elastic and inertial mass. The described experiments represent two extreme situations: 1) elastic mass is negligible, 2) all the falling mass is elastic.
- Dvořák L.: Unconventional Measuring Equpiment, Fair 6, Olomouc 2001
A construction of three measuring devices. The first one measures the magnetic induction, the second is a LED voltmeter and the third represents scales consisting from a small tractor, which goes up and down a seesaw.

Nine unusual simple methods of weighing.
- Trna J.: Physics in your pocket, Fair 5, Praha 2000
Thirty-five very simple experiments with coins from various parts of physics.
