LAB: How Does a Ball Roll View File Students use their knowledge of acceleration and kinematic equations to find the acceleration of two different balls rolling down an incline. A nice "early lab activity" following introduction of the kinematic equations to get students a hands-on application of their problem-solving principles as well as continued development of general measurement and lab procedures.

Personally, I'm for the continued use of the LHS. Yes, it uses tax payers dollars to fund major projects but they provide great results and research, one activity being the Ace Program. The Antiproton Cell Experiment (Ace) uses Antiprotons and protons in order to get rid of cancer cells. this is a great benefit because the proton beam is able to be guided easier in order to reach difficult areas of treatment that normal methods of chemo would normally damage. Though both treatments damage healthy tissue cells, the beam is the best choice because it is able to be directed from all sides and can help treat younger patients who are still growing.

File Name: PASCO: Acceleration on inclined plane File Submitter: davekozski File Submitted: 06 Feb 2015 File Category: Kinematics This is a basic motion detector lab in which a cart is released from a standing position , allowed to roll down an inclined plane, hit a magnetic bumper, rebound back a bit, and repeat. Graphs of displacement, velocity, and acceleration are analyzed. * I've left all of my labs in word format so that the user can tailor them accordingly to suit their needs. We're in this together, after all.

File Name: PASCO motion sensor - velocity File Submitter: davekozski File Submitted: 04 Dec 2014 File Category: Kinematics This is a motion sensor lab in which students are exposed to the idea of linear velocity. More specifically, it's designed to introduce them that the velocity sign indicates direction.

File Name: PASCO motion sensors: An introduction File Submitter: davekozski File Submitted: 04 Dec 2014 File Category: Kinematics This lab is designed to permit students to become comfortable with the PASCO interface and associated software. In addition, displacement versus time graphs are introduced and analyzed.

File Name: Most Missed Questions of 2014 Review and Answers File Submitter: FizziksGuy File Submitted: 16 Jun 2014 File Category: Exam Prep From my review quizzes, which spanned almost 300 of the 966 MC questions since 2002. (I had many versions. I don't make the kids do 300 questions!) I compiled a list of the 40 most missed questions (by my students anyway) in order. https://app.box.com/s/xddw0txo451ajjwkfgbz I also made a youtube video explaining how I think about each question with a little review snuck in. http://youtu.be/MeOpoRtHkLo The most missed topics by my students were Longitudinal Waves Vector Addition. Min and Max values of Vector Additi…

In this video I go through the answers to each question and the though process behind each answer with a little review snuck in. You can download the questions as a .pdf here https://app.box.com/s/xddw0txo451ajjwkfgbz If it's the day before the New York State Physics Regents e…

File Name: Circuits Mistake Game Review Activity File Submitter: FizziksGuy File Submitted: 27 Feb 2014 File Category: Electricity Students are presented with a number of problems and solutions that have subtle mistakes. It is their job to find the mistake, fix it, and present their solution to the class. Designed as a pre-exam review activity.

File Name: Inquiry Lab - Resistivity of Play-Doh File Submitter: FizziksGuy File Submitted: 27 Feb 2014 File Category: Electricity Students will independently determine the resistivity of an unknown material (Play-Doh) using common electrical equipment available in the lab. Students have been introduced to Ohm’s Law and the Resistance of a Resistor formulas previously, and have had a very brief introduction to building electrical circuits from a schematic from the “Resistivity” Lab. Students have also used ammeters and voltmeters in the resistivity lab, though all the equipment is still quite unfamiliar. The goal of this activity is to reinforce Ohm’s Law and …

Would anyone know of a website/book that has Physics Regents Questions aligned by Standards? I am trying to save some work if someone has already taken questions and referenced some sort of Curriculum or Standards Alignment. Thank You Judy

File Name: WS: Work, Energy, and Power in Crossfit File Submitter: FizziksGuy File Submitted: 28 Dec 2013 File Category: Work, Energy, Power Problem set to go along with the Work, Energy, and Power in Crossfit video.

File Name: Kinetic Energy Concept Mapping Activity File Submitter: FizziksGuy File Submitted: 25 Oct 2013 File Category: Dynamics An end-of-kinematics / beginning-of-dynamics concept mapping exercise in which students build a concept map to create a "big-picture" look at what has been studied so far. The current version assumes students have access to Inspiration software, though I have also done this with index cards and string, poster paper, etc. The end-of-activity group discussion typically centers around transitioning from describing motion to causing motion, which introduced the concept of forces, making this a great transition activity from kinematics to dyn…

New Kinematics and Gravity Lab: In this new lab we will perform the experiment outside. We could either use a rescue window or go out to the turf and drop the ball from a higher place. In this example you and your group will go out to the bleachers. You will need a stop watch, a ball and a tape measure. To begin the lab you need to calculate the distance from the bleachers to the ground. Using the stop watch, time how long it takes the ball to travel to the ground. You will need to repeat this multiple times to get an accurate representation. After using the information you collected, determine the acceleration of the ball. This new and improved lab will be more fun for …

File Name: Motion Graphs - Write the Story File Submitter: FizziksGuy File Submitted: 25 Sep 2013 File Category: Kinematics Students are presented a d-t graph and asked to create the corresponding v-t graph and formulate an appropriate story around it. Then they are given a v-t graph, asked to produce a corresponding d-t graph, and formulate an appropriate story.

File Name: WS: Order of Magnitude File Submitter: FizziksGuy File Submitted: 31 Aug 2013 File Category: Math Review A brief worksheet reviewing order of magnitude in a fashion targeted toward answering NY Regents Physics Exam standardized questions. From Mike Powlin.

Keep in mind that I'm a regents physics dropout, so please bear with me: I'm going off to college in less than two weeks. Earlier tonight I was organizing four big magnets I found to bring with me, when my mom came in and started rambling on about my textbooks. Absentmindedly I began to fiddle with these magnets, when I discovered that they all attached to each other. I said to myself, "SELF. They shouldn't all be attracted to each other! What about opposite poles? If I've got two sets, each set has a north and south magnetic field--opposites attract!" So my question is, why isn't there any repelling going on between the two sets? Shouldn't there be a combination…

File Name: Breakdown of June 2013 Regents Physics Exam File Submitter: FizziksGuy File Submitted: 19 Jun 2013 File Category: Exam Prep Diagnostic Guide for the June 2013 Regents Physics Exam I use these to help students prepare for the Regents Exam each spring. Students take the exam, which is scored by the instructor, then students are directed to use the diagnostic guide to determine the percent of questions they answered correctly under each topic. This information is then used to develop a personalized action plan to help each student focus their review efforts in areas that will return the biggest "bang for the buck."
