Exploring Pond Water
Students use a digital microscope compatible with PASCO software to observe and identify life forms in a sample of pond water.
Flower Dissection
Students use a digital microscope compatible with PASCO software to make qualitative and quantitative observations while dissecting a flower.
Digital Microscopy Journal
This single-page observation sheet can be used with impromptu digital microscope investigations. Attached appendices provide guidance on how to connect...
Identify an Unknown with Melting Point
Students use a Wireless Melting Point Apparatus to find the melting point range of an unknown substance...
Building Better Barriers
In this investigation, students explore collisions using a PASCO Smart Cart, which records forces during collisions. SPARKvue software is used for data...
Newton's Third Law
In this lab, students will investigate how two Smart Carts exert forces on each other in different scenarios. Using force sensors on each cart, students...
Forces and Motion
In this lab, students explore the relationship between force, mass, and motion using a Smart Cart on an aluminum dynamics track. The objective is to investigate...
Graph Matching
The purpose of this activity is to explore graphs of position versus time and velocity versus time. The motion will be measured for a Smart Cart moving...
Conservation of Angular Momentum and Energy in a Ballistic Pendulum
In this experiment you will analyze the angular collision between a ball and a physical pendulum....
Inelastic Collisions
Compare how much energy is transferred to the pendulum in a completely inelastic collision compared to a partially elastic collision.
