Serc: Analyzing the Motion of a Marble Down a Ramp

For Students 9th - 10th
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...

Physics Aviary: Motion Graph Matching

For Students 9th - 10th
You will be given a velocity vs. time graph for the motion of a car. Your job is to match the graph with your car by pushing on the gas or brake or coasting at the appropriate moments. Before you start the matching game, you must set the...

Physics Aviary: Speed of Sound Lab

For Students 9th - 10th
This lab is designed to have students investigate the relationship between the distance from an explosion and the time it takes the sound of the explosion to reach the observer. The temperature of the air can be changed by changing the...

Texas Instruments: Match Me!

For Teachers 9th - 10th
In this activity, students move in a specific way in front of the motion detector to create motion plots that match a given Distance versus Time plot. They make connections between types of movements and characteristics of Distance-Time...
