Cloud chambers are very useful resource to study high energy charge particles, either from radioactive decay or from cosmic radiation. This video summarise how a cloud chamber works and provides simple instruction you can make your own. Unlike many DIY cloud chambers this one does NOT require dry ice and so will make it easy to use without having to order and store dry ice.

The idea came from Simple cloud chambers using gel ice packs

Physics High is committed to producing content that teaches physics concepts at a level a high schooler can understand.
See www.physicshigh.com for all my videos and other resources.

As well as this I produce a podcast series called Deep Impact - interviews with science communicators as to what they do, what drives them to communicate their craft
You will find these on the channel and also on podcast sites such as Spotify, Apple and Google podcasts
