I'm doing a physics photo contest for class and need an idea for a photo. Any ideas?

If you have a laser pointer and a mirror you could take a picture of the laser light being reflected at the same angle it hits the mirror. Use some smoke to make the ray visible (you could ask somebody who smokes cigarettes to blow the smoke towards the mirror). Another thing you could do is electrify a balloon or a plastic tube by rubbing it against some cloth or your hair and then hold it close to a thin string of water coming out the sink.

The water will bend towards the balloon/tube. You can take a photo of that. If you have a magnifying glass you could point it at something that's a bit further away.

The glass will flip everything upside down. ...or use it to concentrate sun rays onto paper to make it burn. Something very simple is to take a photo of two persons about the same weight sitting on a see-saw holding the balance.

Hope this helps. Good Luck!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
