Mechanics
Graph Match - Use an Ultrasonic Motion Detector to practice interpreting position vs time and velocity vs time graphs.
Free Fall Acceleration - Use an Ultrasonic Motion Detector to measure position vs time of a basketball.
Motion Graphs - Use an Ultrasonic Motion Detector to view Position vs Time, Velocity vs Time,and Acceleration vs Time graphs.
Gravitational Field Strength - Use a Dual Range Force probe and determine the relationship between Force Gravity and Mass.
Force Table - Use up to 4 Dual Range Force probes
Newton's 2nd Law - Use a single photogate and picket fence to determine the acceleration rate of your system.
Newton's 3rd Law - Use 2 Dual Range Force probes to push and pull.
Conservation of Momentum - Use 2 photogates to determine the velocity of gliders that collide or explode apart. Determine what kind of collisions and explosions Conserve Momentum and/or Conserve Kinetic Energy.
Acceleration - Use 2 photogates to determine the acceleration of a glider.
Heat, Kinetic Theory & Thermodynamics
Melting Ice - Use a Digital Thermometer to watch temperature as some ice melts. It doesn't get any more exciting than heating some H2O!
Pressure vs. Temperature - Use a Digital Thermometer and Pressure Sensor to find the relationship between Temperature and Pressure of a gas. What would Lord Kelvin (1824-1907) conclude?
Boyle's Law - Use a Pressure Sensor to find the relationship between Pressure and Volume of a gas. In an ideal world, we would have Robert Boyle (1627- 1691) here to help us interpret our results.
