Circular Motion
In this lab, students will use force sensors to develop a kinesthetic understanding of circular motion. Students will measure the period of rotation of...
Centripetal Force
In this lab, students will use force sensors to study the centripetal force experienced by an object in uniform circular motion.
Projectile Motion
In this lab, students will use pairs of photogates to demonstrate how independent, horizontal and vertical motions describe the motion of a projectile.
Temperature versus Heat
In this lab, students will use temperature sensors to explore the relationship between heat transfer and temperature changes in various substances.
Phase Change
In this lab, students will use stainless steel temperature sensors to observe physical changes in a system undergoing a phase change.
Specific Heat of a Metal
In this lab, students will use stainless steel temperature sensors to compare the heat transferred by different metals to water.
Heat of Fusion
In this lab, students will use temperature sensors to identify heat as a form of energy. Students will observe heat transfer during a phase change from...
Heat of Vaporization
In this lab, students will use temperature sensors to develop a better understanding of the phase change from gas to liquid.
Boyle's Law
In this lab, students will use absolute pressure sensors to observe the relationship between volume and pressure of an enclosed gas at constant temperature.
Absolute Zero
In this lab, students will use absolute pressure and temperature sensors to experimentally determine a numerical value for absolute zero in degrees Celsius.
