Abstract

Laboratory experiments are vital in learning Physics. Activities give support in concepts usually learned in the lecture. The problem is that most schools lack laboratory facilities in Physics especially here in the Philippines. We thought of developing simple experiments to help students perform activities using household materials.
A brief orientation will be given to the participants regarding the workshop. This includes several demos on homemade Physics learning tools. The participants will be grouped in 35 groups. Each group will be given materials. They will be given enough time to design activities based from the things given to them. They will then perform their designed activities and an assessment will shortly follow.
