How a Greenhouse Works: Light
In this lab, students use a light sensor to determine how light or brightness depends on the angle at which the sun’s light strikes the surface of the...
How a Greenhouse Works: Heat
In this lab, students use a temperature sensor to measure the heat generated in a model greenhouse by altering the types of material that light passes...
Position: Match Graph
In this lab, students will use motion sensors to track and graph their motion in real time. Students will get a hands-on introduction to the concept of...
Speed and Velocity
In this lab, students will make predictions about how a cart's speed and velocity differ. Then, they'll test their predictions using motion sensors.
Relative Motion
In this lab lab, students will use motion sensors to apply the concepts of relative motion and frames of reference to understanding velocity as a vector...
Acceleration
In this lab, students will use motion sensors to represent motion as a change of position in graphical form.
Introduction to Force
In this lab, students will use force sensors to observe and measure contact and non-contact forces as they relate to gravity.
Archimedes' Principle
In this lab, students will use force sensors to explore the relationship between the volume of fluid displaced by a submerged object and the buoyant force...
Hooke's Law
In this lab, students will use force sensors to observe the relationship between the extension of a spring and the resulting force required to extend the...
Newton's First Law
In this lab, students will use motion sensors to determine how force influences the motion of an object. Students will observe that an object’s motion...
