There was a strong view that no experiments should be flown on Apollo 11, but a compromise was ultimately achieved. They would fly just those experiments that had the highest scientific value and wouldn't take too much time to deploy, while most waited for Apollo 12 and later landings. They were the laser retroreflector, the solar wind collector, the passive seismic experiment, the Gold camera and various sample collections.
