The objective of this interactive CD is to illustrate and demonstrate a series of novel activities that may help enhance interest in physics amongst students and teachers. Activities aim at conceptual understanding of Physical phenomena rather than verification of experiments described in a text book.
The CD illustrates and demonstrates 30 novel activities on mechanics, optics and waves along with video clipping of the actual activities that help understand the principles and concepts in a lucid manner. The experiments are aimed at students and teachers of class VI to X.
The experiments were jointly developed by Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur and Vigyan Prasar. A majority of the experiments could be performed using commonly available objects/ equipment.

The CD ‘Fun with Physics’, brought out by Vigyan Prasar was released by Padma Bhusan Dr. V. L. Chopra, Member (Science, Technology & Environment) Planning Commission, during National Science Day Celebration on 27 February 2009 at Technology Bhawan, New Delhi. Present on the occasion were Hon’ble Union Minister for Science & Technology and Earth Sciences Shri Kapil Sibal and Dr. T.Ramasami, Secretary to the Government of India, Department of Science and Technology. The CD is available both in Hindi and English.
