I need a physics lab

We just got our ISU, and I need to find a grade 12 university prep level lab involving field theory or the wave nature of light.  I was thinking about polarization and malus' law, but I cant find a lab to do that doesnt involve lasers (which I dont have).  I do have polarized lenses, and I was thinking about measuring light with a digital camera, using the histogram with constant iso, aperture, and shutter speed.

thanks amigos.

2 of us have been looking for a good 3 hours each.  I figured it was worth a shot.

holy crap that sounds complicated. I'm in grade 11 h physics but I don't have anything that sounds remotely like that. good luck though.

Ummm, I took physics last year, try a diffraction grating. or show the wave particle duality therum. both can make good labs that CAN be relatively easy.

physics kicks ass. best high school course ever. got 96% including Alberta diploma exam.
easy if you like/good at math. mainly it is formulas some theory's you have to know.

I'm in college, but I'm an arts student, but I also want to get a b.sc. in psychology. ridiculous I know. I'll see what I can do

go to the university bookstore, find a first year physics lab manual. Pick one.
