This section is about demonstrations of physical phenomena, mainly physics or physical science, appropriate to various age groups. It is NOT intended for sites which want to sell demonstration or lab products. There is a 'suppliers' page elsewhere for that.

- Physics Demonstrations and Science Exhibit Designs Bill Beaty's Science Hobbyist site. Includes many links to his and other demonstration sources.
- Physics Demonstration Resources Online, University of Texas at Austin For physics educators interested in developing demonstrations. Provides links to many colleges' demo resources.
- Industrial Electrostatics Demonstrations The project described at this web page was undertaken to develop a set of demonstrations having clear relevance to manufacturing and commercial operations. Some of these demonstrations should also serve to augment the science teacher's or hobbyist's bag of tricks by making it easier to reinforce the relationship between basic principles and practical situations.
- Video Demonstrations, Colorado State University College of Engineering Various principles and devices, including dynamics, mechanisms, vibration and sound, mechatronics and measurement systems, pool and billiards, and solid mechanics.
- Donald Simanek, Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania, Physics Lecture Demonstrations Lecture demonstrations for physics courses, compiled and annotated by Dr Donald Simanek. Reads like a storybook.
- Firewalking Myth vs Physics Information on firewalking from people who firewalk. Background on firewalking and data on modern walks. Information for putting on your own.
- Dramatic Physics Demonstrations Physics demonstrations for classroom use. Covers Newton's Laws, Air pressure, heat and other areas. Contains instructions for making many of the demos.
- Physics.org - Physics To Go Recipes for and videos of 20 easy-to-replicate physics-based tricks. These were produced in Einstein Year, 2005, to help Institute of Physics members engage non-physicists.
- Physics Behind Four Amazing Demonstrations, Skeptical Inquirer Physics theory behind four dramatic demonstrations: walking on broken glass, dipping one's fingers in molten lead, breaking a concrete block over someone lying between beds of nails, and picking up an orange-hot piece of silica tile.
- The Cathode Ray Tube Site Images and history of old technical glassware and physical instruments, many of which are used for demonstrations in courses worldwide.
