Physics HELP! Physics Photo project ideas?

Hi, everyone! I have to do a physics photo project for my physics class and i can't come up with an idea that is not too simple and not too complicated. Basically, i have to take a picture that highlights a physics principle, law, or phenomenon. Any ideas? I really have to do well on this...

If you have a laser pointer and a mirror you could take a picture of the laser light being reflected at the same angle it hits the mirror. Use some smoke to make the ray visible (you could ask somebody who smokes cigarettes to blow the smoke towards the mirror).

Another thing you could do is electrify a balloon or a plastic tube by rubbing it against some cloth or your hair and then hold it close to a thin string of water coming out the sink. The water will bend towards the balloon/tube. You can take a photo of that.

If you have a magnifying glass you could point it at something that's a bit further away. The glass will flip everything upside down.

...or use it to concentrate sun rays onto paper to make it burn.

Something very simple is to take a photo of two persons about the same weight sitting on a see-saw holding the balance.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck!

If you live near a beach then its easy. If you don't, throw something big into a river or pond and photograph the wave. Use a tripod and fast shutter speed (500/second) for best results. You could even drop something into the bath to make a wave.

do like a picture of like a body in motion stays in motion, like a car (not real) bumping into something and daring it with it...or you can do a picture of two things falling together because the weight has nothing to do with the rate at which it falls (proved by Galileo) Or you could have like someone with their hand against the wall and the person can have a caption sayin "He he look at the Wall pushing against me" proving that for every reaction there is an equal opposite reaction

1) Take a photo of a ball partially squashed when it hits the ground.

2) Take a photo of a baseball game!

3) Think "In action!"

1. Set a rock on the ground.

2. Take picture.

3. Tell everyone you proved gravity exists.
