Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider HandsOn Physics Activities with RealLife Applications by James Cunningham.
“This is a dense, practical compendium of nearly 200 investigations, demonstrations, minilabs and activities organized into eight topical units (Measurement through Electromagnetism). Useful for teachers and hands-on learners, it delivers ready-to-run procedures, everyday examples, and clear materials lists that let you stage demos with minimal prep. The main limitation is emphasis on activity logistics over deep theoretical derivation or extended conceptual essays, so explanations can feel brief. Repetition of format and long materials lists make for choppy reading as a cover-to-cover book.”
