Tesla coil & Leyden jar
The old meets the new. The idea here is to modulate the massive spark produced by the tesla coil to transmit music! Results here once we're done!

Rocket science!
This ignores a few key things like air resistance, variable thrust and the rocket's mass changing with time- but it's a start :)

Measured times for finding g experiment
This is a graphical representation of a class set of data nicely showing the spread of times from our experiment. The median value of time was chosen because me the large spread of values.
Finding g by freefall
1.33 seconds was our median value of the time it took for a lump of plasticine to fall approx 11 metres. Our timing error meant our final value of g is anywhere between 9.4 and 17.2 m/s/s ! Solution- use a taller building :)
