Physics Aviary: Converging Mirror Lab

This lab is designed to have students investigate the relationships between voltage, resistance and current in a series circuit with up to three passive components. The batteries in this simulation can be varied from ideal batteries to...

This lab was designed to have students test the things that can induce a current in a coil of wires. This lab is a purely quantitative lab.

This lab is designed to have students investigate the relationships between voltage, resistance and current in a parallel circuit with up to three passive components. The batteries in this simulation can be varied from ideal batteries to...

This mini-lab allows students to discover the relationships that create Coulomb's Law.

This lab was designed to have students test the factors that determine how much current is induced in a circuit when area of the circuit is changed. This lab is a quantitive lab that supplements the lab on magnetic flux.

This lab is designed to have students look at how the forces needed to support a suspension bridge change as the object moves across the bridge. This lab is intended to be used as a companion to a live lab with similar equipment.

This lab is designed to have students find the relationships that affect the force required to keep an object moving in a circle. Students will be able to modify the mass of the object, the speed of the object and the size of the circle...

This lab was designed to have students investigate the factors that affect the acceleration of an object on a frictionless horizontal surface. The simulation will give the students position vs. time data and they will have to determine...

This lab was designed to have students practice the Atwood lab prior to doing it for real. Students can adjust the masses and the planet and then collect position vs. time data and velocity vs. time data.

This lab was designed to generate some data that students can use when learning about simple graphing motion. Students will track the motion of a row boat as it moves through a course and then they will create a graph of the data that...
