Momentum - Tailgated by a Dart

Students will learn to estimate the speed of an object by applying conservation of momentum to an inelastic collision.

Density Rods

Use an aluminum and PVC rod with varing temperatures of water to visualize the difference in densities.

Quantum Lab

This lab constructs a model of how the quantum energies of photons was derived through indirect measurement and analysis using a balance, pennies, and film canisters.

Picture of a Lab: Different Graph Types

Employ four stations to convey graphical relations in different graphs.

Lab #9.7 Mechanics: Chapter 9 Dropping The Ball

Drop a ball to observe kinetic and potential energy.

Lab #9.1 Mechanics: Chapter 9 An Uphill Climb

In this experiment, you will determine what advantage—if any—there is in using an inclined plane to move an object to a higher elevation.

Density of a Solid

Students will devise a way of finding the volume of each object – calculating the volume of a cube or using water displacement for irregular objects.

Lab #8.2 Mechanics: Chapter 8 Egg Toss

In this activity, you will investigate the effect that stopping time has on stopping force when momentum changes

Acceleration Force and Mass

Use photogates to simplify labs testing acceleration, conservation of energy, and more.

Waves on a Helical Spring

Students will investigate the properties of mechanical waves using a helical spring.

Tuning Fork Interference

This lab asks students to combine the sounds from two tuning forks (which each produces a simple sine wave vibration) and observe the results.

"Slinky" & the Wave

Students explore properties of mechanical waves such as λ, speed, reflection, and interference using a "slinky" spring.
