Hi Summer, Here are some web pages I found which contain either historical or current experiments for determining the speed of light. However without very good quality equipment you will not get the precise figure but an estimate. I hope these help. Katie Pilypas How is the speed of light measured? http://www.public.iastate.edu/~physics/sci.physics/faq/measure_c.html Measuring the Speed of Light http://www.picot ech.com/experiments/speed_of_light/ Measuring the Speed of Light http://www.colorado.edu/physics/2000/waves_particles/lightspeed_e vidence.html Speed of Light http://hype rphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/c.html#ctroub Experiment 2 http://polaris.phys.ualberta.ca/users/austen/Phys29x/Manual/2Sp eedofLight97.pdf
