Dear Yibi,

Snack #20 in the Snackbook is on capacitance. It uses a partially foil-wrapped film can as a Leyden jar. I used them with physical science students with quite a bit of success. (Not sure why it was always the boys who wanted to see how much of a shock they could stand, though.) Not a really quantitative lab, but it does demonstrate the concept really well. Cheers.
