This resource was created to whet the curiosity of young people about science and to increase the attractivity for the university scientific studies.


It includes 200 commented and validated scientific experiments designed to enjoy science and teach otherwise.


It is a comprehensive site linking:•200 video clips from one to two minutes each (a total of 5 hours of viewing) (for some improved by a synchronized quiz)•200 sheets associated text, written in the editorial chain Scenari


Each clip presents an “hands on experiment" which is a short, easy to perform, experiment requiring only, for most of the objects and materials used in the experiment, those which can be found everywhere or readily available.


Each entry includes:•a list of keywords;•the objectives of the experiment;•an illustration to understand immediately the subject involved;•the list of devices and equipment required or recommended to perform the experiment;


• the description of the installation and performance of the experiment;

• the explaination of the physical concepts involved in the experiment;

• some remarks: teaching tips and methods, historical remarks and / or additional information;

• references (webography, bibliography)


This collection of “Hands on experiments" has its natural place in addition to lectures to reintroduce an experimental aspect of science education and increase its attractiveness.


The site is aimed for students of university (L1 and L2) and school-university transition to complement conventional experimental physics courses.


The site can also be a tool for remediation to the disaffection of young people for science: younger students can observe and find fun and attractive these experiments even if there understanding with theoretical elements are still missing.


The site "phymain.unisciel.fr" covers the following areas of general physics:

• Acoustic• Heat• Electricity• Magnetism• Gaz mecanics• Liquid mecanics• Solid mecanics• Optics• Various


Practice “Hands on experiments" are multiple since the interpretation of clips can be adapted by each teacher to the viewing public.


A few usage examples:•Tutored exercices based on the clips for the students in the university•Illustration courses by teachers of the university, and terminal CPGEs high school classes wishing to increase the attractiveness of their education.


In self reading:•by students in college and high school students in school-university transition curious to repeat the experiment in addition to their academic courses•by any user who wishes to understand some phenomena they encounter in everyday life


It is also a valuable tool for the South countries including universities starved of experimental material and so they can discover complex physical phenomena with material found daily.


• The site (Wordpress) also aims to create a community of users who may suggest to the authors of the site to carry out experiments to complement the existing bank clips.

• They can also leave comments and open discussion forums around the manipulation and how they are interpreted.
