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.
Exploring Inductors
Students construct a circuit that produces current in an inductor and use a compass to investigate its properties. They remove the batteries and use a...
Centripetal Force on a Pendulum - Wireless
The purpose of this activity is to experimentally measure the centripetal force acting on a pendulum...
Projectile Motion - Wireless
This experiment is in four parts: 1. Muzzle Velocity, Time of Flight, and Range 2. Launching at Different Angles on a Plane 3. Predicting the Range of...
Ratio of Specific Heats - Wireless
A cylinder is filled with air and a Wireless Pressure Sensor is attached. The piston is plucked by hand and allowed to oscillate. The oscillating pressure...
Ideal Gas Law - Wireless
The temperature, volume, and pressure of a gas are measured simultaneously to show that they change according to the Ideal Gas Law. Special cases of constant...
Rotational Inertia - Wireless
The rotational inertia of an object is a measure of how hard it is to rotate the object. The purpose of this experiment is to find the rotational inertia...
Electrical Equivalent of Heat - Wireless
The purpose of this experiment is to determine the amount of electrical energy that is equivalent...
