Take a look at an organized physics course. The 34-section electronic textbook covers material in AP® Physics 1 and 2. Teachers use the text to supplement lectures and have the class work through the labs. Each section contains...

What's so amazing about birds? Find out just how amazing birds are with a physics of animal behavior unit created by Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Have learners explore and tap into their observational skills and notice how birds fly, what...

Begin your states of matter lessons with a demonstration designed to introduce the concept that all matter has properties. Reinforce this concept through vocabulary exploration, and the creation of atom models; salt, water, and carbon...

This lab is designed to have students investigate the relationship between the distance from an explosion and the time it takes the sound of the explosion to reach the observer. The temperature of the air can be changed by changing the...

This lab is designed to help students visualize distance between two synchronized sources that will lead to constructive and destructive interference.

This lab is designed to help students discover the connections between the linear density of a string and the tension in the string with the speed of the wave along the string. The program can be set with six identical strings or six...

This lab is designed to help students visualize the formation of beats and the relationship between the number of beats per second and the beat frequency heard by the observer.

This lab is designed to have students investigate the changes to wavelength and frequency that occur when the source of the waves is in motion. This video describes the lab: https://youtu.be/eCceYPBR6f4

This lab is designed to help students visualize the formation of standing waves in a wind instrument. Students will be able to view fundamental waves as well as some higher harmonics. They can work with a tube with two open ends or just...
