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.
Path of a Projectile
The purpose of this experiment is to determine how the vertical distance a projectile drops is related to the horizontal distance the projectile travels...
Conservation of Momentum in Two Dimensions
In this experiment a ball hits another ball at a glancing angle and students confirm that momentum...
Conservation of Energy of a Ball Shot Straight Up
The purpose of this experiment is to confirm that the initial kinetic energy of a projectile shot...
Investigating Photosynthesis with Algae Beads
Students will use a Wireless Spectrometer, algae beads, and bicarbonate indicator to investigate...
What Factors Affect Dissolved Oxygen?
Students will use a dissolved oxygen sensor to determine how different factors affect the concentration...
