Facebook: What happens Next Experiments – Presented by David Featonby et al
This group has a series of informal demonstrations of many of the experiments David has had published in Physics Education. They consist of short experiments often with discrepant outcomes. The idea is to look at the question and then after a day you get the answers. Some will be suited to all ages.
