As a high school physics student, the experiments that I feel would be most educational/enlightening are: - Measuring gravity using a pendulum (using T=2.pi.sqrt(l/g)) - Measuring the resistivity of wire - Measuring values for specific latent heats, specific heats of fusion etc

When doing experiments, I always found the ones where we were trying to calculate a known value experimentally (g, specific heats etc) to be the best.
