Melde’s experiment
This is a standard standing waves investigation, where you hang masses off an elasticated piece of wire/string to see how this impacts the vibrations. It is good to provide this in the everyday context of a guitar or violin string and you can look at altering the length of the wire or the masses hung on it.
