You didn't say what your major is.

What is your major? Clearly not orthography. What year in high school?

Every kid and his/her dog does LED flashers. Instead, do something with
an LM3914, using 10 LEDs to actually measure something. Physics is about
measurement, isn't it. You can measure anything that you can turn into
an electrical signal. That means you can have one 'indicator' module
that accepts many different 'input' modules that measure different
things:

temperature
light level
magnetic field strength and direction
voltage
current
resistance
wind speed
liquid level

Substitute an LM3915 and you can give your indicator a log scale with a
30:1 magnitude range.

No, you are not a Physics teacher.

Perhaps you are talking about physical education in which case you might
qualify as a cheerleader looking forward to graduating as a Hooters Girl.

However, since you are posting to SED, I would suggest you look into
magnetic levitation. I built one at school once using the bits and pieces
available in the Physics lab along with an LDR, light bulb and a 2N3055 with
what might have been a 2N2905 and some resistors.

Ooooooh and a chuffing big heatsink.

If you get it right then you can make an eight inch nail with a cork on its
end hover in mid air. Warwick University were doing this sort of stuff with
ball bearings and PDP11s but they were poofs back in those days. However you
are guaranteed that your first formers will be suitably unimpressed.

If you get bored you can plug all the oscillators into each other along with
some oscilloscopes plus an amplifier and loudspeaker and go totally Brian
Eno.

You're a physics teacher who can't spell and can't punctuate? And
can't think up a simple physics project?

how about Lego robots. They look like fun, and I wish I was many years

How about a HANDS-ON demonstration of sexual positions ?:)

I think a student is posing as a teacher for effect. Or maybe it's a
matter of poor English; the words in other languages can confuse
translation.

Go to the school library, and ask the librarian for a physics textbook.

Read it.

You will learn a great many things.

Good Luck!
