'make anything related to physics' is a bit broad isn't it?
There must be more guidlines than that... (Also, us 'foreigners' don't know what age '12 grade' is!)

Consider.. a motor, a speaker, an alarm system...??

Grade 12 is the last year before university, so it's about age 17-18.

There are lots of interesting links about electric and magnetic phenomena here,

but it's a disorganized site, so you may have to search around a lot to find something good.

Maybe you could try building an electromagnet or an electric generator or something ...
