Could anyone suggest a book or website which can help me on seeing some fantastic physics experiments which should be done in outdoors or need big instruments and space to be done?

Are you asking about real experiments that you could visit for a "your tax dollars at work" tour or about theoretical experiments that physicists would love to do if there were no budget constraints? – CuriousOne Sep 14 '15 at 14:58

for not very expensive real experiments which could be done for high school students... – P.A.M Sep 14 '15 at 17:13

I see. You want to go really big? Have the students measure the diameter of Earth with the method of Eratosthenes... baseline... at least several hundred miles. :-) – CuriousOne Sep 14 '15 at 19:43

not that much big as you go... but that's good if it does not cost much... ;) – P.A.M Sep 16 '15 at 06:12

It's just an angle measurement and teaches trigonometry. You need to get two schools to do the measurement at the same time and synchronize with a phone call. I think that's an interesting twist and it should teach students how large collaborations of scientists work these days, using phone calls and video conferences. – CuriousOne Sep 16 '15 at 06:26
