Most are done with inexpensive materials available to anyone and can be homemade. Judged to be one of the best resources for discrepant event demonstrations and activities by many teachers.

Newton's Beads
This little demonstration has become very popular with kids of all ages. The 50 foot string of beads, being held in a container, is allowed to run out over the top edge and springs up several inches above the container as the acceleration of free fall increases momentum and Newton's first law is demonstrated. This is also a model of polymers and shows how long strings of chemical
compounds behave.
Newton's Beads in container w/instructions. $9.95
