In summary, there are several physics challenges that can be done at home, such as creating a simple pulley system, building a homemade rocket, conducting experiments with static electricity, and exploring the principles of sound waves through musical instruments. These challenges can help improve understanding of basic physics concepts and can be fun and engaging activities for individuals of all ages. Additionally, with readily available household materials, these experiments can be easily replicated at home.

Hi, I'm Jeff, I'm not a student, and I'm 48. It's been forever since I've taken physics classes, and I'm looking to brush up. I have found some actual physics challenges around the house, and I'm working on those.

Thanks in advance for any assistance, and I'm hoping I can help someone as well!
