Physics Extension Lab Station • EP-3580

The Physics Extension Lab Station includes five wireless sensors that complement the set of sensors found in the Physics Starter Lab Station (EP-3579). Together, the sensors from the Physics Starter and Extension Lab Stations comprise the sensors to perform all 20 lab investigations inside the Physics Lab Station Investigations manual, plus many of the lab activities found in PASCO's Advanced Physics 1 Lab Manual and Advanced Physics 2 Lab Manual. A storage slot for each sensor in the Physics Extension Lab Station is available in the Gratnells storage tray that comes with the Physics Starter Lab Station.

Components of the Extension Lab Station

Wireless Sensors: PASCO's rugged, low-cost wireless sensors connect directly to computers, Chromebooks, tablets, and mobile devices to allow students to quickly collect data, leaving more time for analyzing and interpreting data. This lab station includes:

• 1x Wireless Acceleration Altimeter Sensor (PS-3223)
• 1x Wireless 3-Axis Magnetic Field Sensor (PS-3221)
• 1x Wireless Rotary Motion Sensor (PS-3220)
• 1x Wireless Sound Sensor (PS-3212)
• 1x Wireless Smart Gate (PS-3225)

Digital Access to Lab Activities: Included with the starter lab station is digital access to:

• PASCO's Physics Lab Station Investigations manual (see experiments tab) - This lab manual includes 20 labs that cover topics in kinematics, dynamics,  circular motion, rotational dynamics, waves and sound, and electricity and magnetism. Each lab activity includes editable student handouts and various teacher resources including answer keys and sample data.
• PASCO's Advanced Physics 1 Lab Manual (see experiments tab) - This lab manual covers the latest standards for College Board AP Physics 1.
  
• PASCO's Advanced Physics 2 Lab Manual (see experiments tab) - This lab manual covers the latest standards for College Board AP Physics 2.

Distance Learning Resources: 10 of the 20 labs found in the Physics Lab Station Investigations manual also include digital resources to support distance learning for students working at home. Resources such as live video recordings of data collection and sample data files students can use to perform their own analyses.

Lab Activities

The Printed Samples Booklet includes the following 10 student lab handouts taken from PASCO's Physics Lab Station Investigations manual. The combined Physics Starter Lab Station (EP-3579) and Physics Extension Lab Station (EP-3580) comprise the sensors used to perform all 20 labs, plus many of the lab activities found in PASCO's Advanced Physics 1 Lab Manual and Advanced Physics 2 Lab Manual.
