Physics Aviary: Radioactive Shielding Lab

This lab is designed to allow students to look at the amount of radiation that is detected at different distances from a radioactive source.

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...

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...
