Abstract

In some countries physics lessons are limited in many cases due to different constraints to lecturing and rote learning with in short supply use of teaching materials and other practical activities. These limitations can make physics abstract and difficult for students to understand. This paper presents one of activities, which can be done by using low-cost materials that can be found around schools or home. It might be useful for teachers to teach physics and make abstract physics more concrete.
