The commons
Benchtop is a free, open shelf of physics experiments you can actually run. Every entry carries its materials, an ordered procedure, downloadable handouts, and a comment thread where teachers trade what worked. Teachers post the labs. Students browse them, run them, and add notes of their own.
Nothing here is gated. Take a lab, adapt it for your room, and pass it on.
Entries marked Starter example are here to open the shelf, and each one credits the openly licensed source it was adapted from. Everything else is posted by a teacher or a student who signed in and shared their own work.
