Get things moving with this extensive collection of physical science resources. Covering the fundamentals of measurement, graphing, lab safety, and experimental design as well as the specific scientific concepts...

Cliff diving is more than an adrenaline rush ... it's a lesson in physics! Scholars adjust the height of a cliff and plot the resulting velocity and position over time on graphs. They also can incorporate air resistance to monitor the...

Take a look at an organized physics course. The 34-section electronic textbook covers material in AP® Physics 1 and 2. Teachers use the text to supplement lectures and have the class work through the labs. Each section contains...

This lab is designed to examine the factors that affect the radial acceleration that is felt by a driver that is going around a turn. The acceleration sensor is located on the driver's side of the car. Students will be able to change the...

You will be adjusting different parameters, such as speed and time accelerating, in this lab to see how they affect the motion of your car. Record the data and then reset your system to make desired changes.

This lab was designed to give students an environment that they could relate to that would let them test how launch speed and time of flight affect the height of an explosion and the speed at the time of the explosion.

This lab was designed to generate some data that students can use when learning about two stage graphing motion. Students will track the motion of a dragster as it accelerates and then moves at a constant speed and then they will create...

Manipulate the mass of a weight and the length of string in this interactive pendulum simulation. Change the speed, friction, and gravity to make the pendulum swing change as measurements are displayed on the screen. Younger students can...

This lab is designed to allow students to explore different aspects of satellite motion. Students can vary the mass of the satellite, the orbital radius of the satellite and the body that the satellite is orbiting. Students can measure...

This lab is designed to have students investigate the factors that affect the speed of an electron and the time it takes an electron to travel the distance between two charged plates.

This lab is designed to have students find the relationships that affect the stopping distance and stopping time of a car on a roadway. Students will be able to modify the tires, road surface, the mass of the car, gravitational...

This lab activity involves rolling a marble down a ramp where the students can investigate constant acceleration motion. The students then make a position vs. time graph and a velocity vs. time graph in order to investigate the change in...

This lab was designed to give students practice collecting and analyzing data for the PVC Freefall Lab. Masses are dropped from different heights and the speed of the object as it passes through a photogate is calculated. The...
