Cliff diving is more than an adrenaline rush ... it's a lesson in physics! Scholars adjust the height of a cliff and plot the resulting velocity and position over time on graphs. They also can incorporate air resistance to monitor the...

This lab/learning activity is designed to introduce students to some of the basic terms with circular motion. They will be introduced to rpm, frequency, period, angular frequency, speed and velocity. It is hoped that students will be...

This lab is designed to have students learn the factors affecting the RMS velocity for a sample of gas. The student will be able to set the temperature of the environment and the mass of the particles.

This lab is designed to have students discover the relationship between the work that is done by a force and the speed gained by the object experiencing the force. Students can adjust the strength of the force. They can decide how much...

This lab is designed to have students find the relationships that affect the maximum speed a car can go around a turn. Students will be able to modify the tires, road surface, the mass of the car, radius of the turn and the initial speed...
