Inverse Square Law
In this lab, students will use light sensors to explore how light intensity varies inversely as the square of the distance from a point source of light.
Polarization
In this lab, students will use light sensors to study the effects of polarization on light intensity and to explore Malus’ Law.
Sound Intensity
In this lab, students will use sound level sensors to investigate the sound intensity from devices such as tuning forks, musical instruments, and the human...
Radiation
In this lab, students will use a Geiger-Müller tube to measure radiation intensity, while studying how radioactive particles react with various materials.
Significant Figures
In this lab, students complete a series of measurement activities to practice determining the correct number of significant figures.
Density
This lab helps students demonstrate that density is an intensive property of a substance and is independent of the shape or size of an object.
Graphing Mass versus Volume to Determine Density
In this lab, students will use multiple mass and volume data to graphically determine the density...
Percent Oxygen in Air
In this lab, students use an absolute pressure sensor to study air characteristics and determine the percent of oxygen present.
Conservation of Matter
In this lab, students test the law of conservation of matter for both physical and chemical changes by finding the mass of the reactants before the reaction...
Properties of Ionic and Covalent Compounds
In this lab, students use a conductivity sensor to determine if an unknown substance is an ionic,...
