- Drozd Z.: Pot-Physics, Fair 11, Olomouc 2006
In this contribution there are described experiments with a pot. Pot is an available instrument not only for teachers, but also for students, and in physics lessons it is unusual enough to attract attention.

A collection of simple experiments from the field of mechanics, oscillatory motion, acoustics and optics conducted with cheese boxes.
- Dvořák L., Kácovský P.: More Ideas from Malá Hraštice (Easy Experiments with Famous Names in the Background), Fair 23, České Budějovice 2018
The paper describes several experiments associated with the names of famous physicists: 1) ‘almost Rutherford’s’ experiment which deals with repulsion of macroscopic objects, 2) simple verification of the Ampère’s law of total current, 3) repelling magnets, when the poles of thin long magnets repel in analogy with the Coulomb's law, but with shorter magnets it’s more complicated and 4) the Oersted’s experiment.
- Hajdusianek A., Hajdusianek I.: Mobile laboratories of the "Academy of Young Explorers", Fair 20, Praha 2015
As part of the “Academy of Young Explorers” project, new experiments have been
developed that can be presented in lower- and upper-secondary schools, as well as
during classes with children. We would like to present the ideas and solutions that we
use. The aim of these experiments is to broaden the pupils’ knowledge of physics and
to convince them that physics is a useful field of science that has much to do with
engineering and the world surrounding us.

A box with dimensions of 10.2 cm × 6.2 cm × 2.2 cm is filled with stuff that can be used to demonstrate more than sixty different physics phenomena. This paper presents the contents of this box and selected experiments performed with it.
- Hubeňák J.: Technical sprays in physics education, Fair 15, Praha 2010
Sprays can be used to liven up elementary or high school physics lesson. Electronic technical sprays are easily obtainable and include some types interesting for physics: cooling sprays and sprays for dusting off. Criminologists-technicians use, among other, sprays with magnetic particles. These sprays can be also obtained and used for experimentation.
- Jerje T.: Conductive plastic – an interesting material for a science project, Fair 19, Cheb 2014
Probably every physics teacher knows how hard it is to get a new teaching aid or demonstration set to his physics cabinet. The teacher, who teaches students physics and really means it, then has no choice but to start making aids on his own, look around and gain the sense that not all things have to be thrown away. In this contribution I would like to show, or sometimes just remind, with which experiments teacher can enrich his or her lesson.
- Kácovský P.: Physics Through the Eyes of Thermography, Fair 21, Brno 2016
The following paper shows experiments in which thermography can be used, even though in these parts of physics thermal phenomena are perceived more as secondary effects.
- Machalická J., Reichl J.: Couple of projects form summer camp, this time’s topic: „How little is enough to make mathematician and physicist happy“, Fair 24, Hradec Králové 2019
The paper describes another year of the Young Physicists and Mathematicians Camp organized by the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague, which took place at the Hořovice Cottage in Cholín. Attention is particularly given to three selected projects on which the participants worked.
