Further ideas from Mala Hrastice: "spagetti physics"

Abstract

The article informs on several simple experiments and measuremnts concerning mechanical properties of materials using slightoly non-traditional material: spagetti. The ideas occured and were tested at Spring school for future physics teachers.

These experiments with simple means can provide inspiration for example for small students'projects.
