Undergraduate Physics Experiments

The undergraduate physics curriculum includes laboratories. There are many experiments that are possible to be conducted at such a level and those experiments that I prefer include relatively simple setups, here is a list of experiments that I find useful:

1) Electrostatics: two charged aluminum balls

2) Dielectric constant using a aluminum foil for capacitive plates

3) Crater formation: dropping a ball into a sand box.

4) Pendulum period
