Curated OER
Investigation of Hooke's Law Lab
Students determine the spring constant by conducting an investigation. In this physics instructional activity, students collect data and create a graph of force vs. displacement. They compare the results of two different methods to find...
Curated OER
Ballistic Pendulum Lab
Young scholars determine the muzzle velocity of projectile launcher. In this physics lesson, students compare the pendulum method and kinematic method in calculating the initial velocity. They analyze data and discuss results in class.
Curated OER
Automated Vehicle Programming Design
Students design a program to make an automated vehicle perform a specific task. In this robotics lesson, students play the role of scientists competing to win a factory's contract. They present their algorithm to class.
Curated OER
Pumps
Students examine the basic types of pumps. They build a gravity-driven water pump and solve a mystery using their knowledge of pressures and pumps.
