Explorations in Physics Lab Manual (PS-2810)
This lab manual contains 25 standards-based physics labs using probeware with a computer. Lab manual contains teacher information, student lab instructions and worksheets. CD includes electronic version of manual, experiment setup files and sample data.
We recommend one Lab Manual per classroom.
Probeware Bundle
Choose the bundle option that best meets your needs. Select the Standard Bundle for the probeware to perform all 25 labs.
Standard Physics Bundle (PS-2666)
Intermediate Physics Bundle (PS-2665)
Entry Physics Bundle (PS-2664)
See a convenient comparison of bundle options.
We recommend one bundle for each lab group of 2-4 students.
DataStudio Site License (CI-6871G)
Optional upgrade
Add a DataStudio Site License to your order, and your entire K-12 campus is licensed for the full-featured DataStudio data collection and analysis software. Our starter version, DataStudio Lite, is provided for free with each shipment. But for a low-one time purchase, give your school unlimited access. PASCO's generous software license includes FREE updates for life.
What other lab equipment is needed?
The bundles above consist of probeware. Additional equipment and materials may be required to perform each experiment, some or all of which you may already have in your lab. See the equipment and materials list for each experiment in this lab manual for more information.
