Magnetic Field in a Coil
Students construct a circuit that produces current in a coil and use a magnetic field sensor and current sensor to investigate its properties. They determine...
Planck's Constant
Students construct a variable brightness LED circuit. They calculate the frequencies given the LED wavelengths of 4 different color LEDs. They measure...
Periodic Motion: Mass and Spring
Experimentally determine the physical properties of a hanging mass and spring system that affect its period of oscillation.
Coefficients of Friction
Experimentally determine the static and kinetic friction coefficients between two contacting surfaces.
Investigating Environmental Radiation
Students use a Geiger counter to measure the radioactivity of a sample of their choosing. They measure...
