Hmm .. wasn't that curious a student!

We brothers made this Netwon's colour disc to realize the phenomenon of `persistence of vision'. We broke something to get a motor (I think); and I don't remember seeing a pure white colour when the disc was rotated, as the basic colours weren't themselves pure. Thats the best I remember doing something at home!

And yes, I tried to immerse myself in a `kutti' (small) tub, to see if Archimedis' principle is in fact true :).

But the one I loved the most is a `melting man show' we organized for a science exhibition. The idea is two have a boy sitting on a chair, and a skeleton on another chair; both in different chambers. The setup (with multiple mirrors) was such that the viewers actually see the chair reflected by a mirror. Adjusting the lights of two chambers, the boy appears to `melt down' to a skeleton. The funniest part is, when I suggested that I would like to be the boy who sits on the chair, our teacher told, its better that I take the role of the skeleton so that we don't have to search for another! I was so skinny then!!
