7. Making Water Detour
Materials Needed: a piece of flannel which is clean and dry or paper towel, stream of water, flexible plastic ruler and a party balloon.
In order for the stream of water to flow out, you need to open the tap a little bit. After you make this step, rub the balloon and the ruler against your hair. When you finish rubbing put the ruler, the balloon close to the stream. This is a very simple and easy experiment which doesn’t require any kind of special materials and it isn’t dangerous.
6. Straw Flute
Materials Needed for the experiment number 6 on our list of simple physics experiments with everyday materials: scissors, straw and a person who can blow hard.
With the scissors, cut off a tip of the straw so the both sides are the same, after you finish this step, chew the straw in order to soften the tip and to make the edges smooshed together. When you do these steps it is time for someone to take action and blow hard. If they do it right, you will hear a very loud sound similar to the flute. With blowing in the straw, the pieces are vibrating and vibration is the most important thing when it comes to making a sound. Even though you can try different instruments with this experiment, keep in mind that this is a physical, not a musical experiment.
