    LAB: Popper Lab

    By FizziksGuy

    Write up for an open-ended "popper" lab in which students use their kinematic equations to determine the launch velocity of a popper toy.
     
    Popper toys can be found in a variety of places such as Amazon, CVS and Wal-Mart, as well as Oriental Trading.
    CVS Spring Toys item number is SKU# 439412, bar code 50428 06656, "Spring Up & Catch Game", $2.99 each or 2/$5
    Walmart item number is #ES-41035, 6 to a package for $2.98, called the "Sport Pop-Up Game", bar code 79940 41035

    LAB: How Does a Ball Roll

    By FizziksGuy

    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.

    Motion Graphs - Write the Story

    By FizziksGuy

    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.

    PASCO motion sensor - velocity

    By davekozski

    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.

    PASCO: Acceleration on inclined plane

    By davekozski

    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.
