Analyzing a Static Beam

Students take measurements of various arrangements of a static beam and use them to make predictions about the forces on the beam. A force sensor is used...

High School / Physics

Falling Beam

Students predict the angular velocity of a meter stick that has rotated from the vertical position to the horizontal position. They derive an expression...

High School / Physics

Gravitational Torque

Students set up various systems to learn about gravitational torque and center of mass. They find the mass of an object, determine the mass of a meter...

High School / Physics

Exploring a Rotating System

Students construct and collect data with an experimental system to determine angular velocity, angular acceleration, applied torque, and the rotational...

High School / Physics

Exploring Torque

Students explore the concepts associated with torque and balance using the Meter Stick Torque Set. They develop the mathematical relationship between the...
