Physics Aviary: Reading a Caliper

Practice reading an analog current meter.

Practice reading an oscilloscope. Students must achieve a score or 10 or more. At the end students should be able to get frequency, period, voltage and peak to peak voltage.

Checks your ability to read thermometers.

This lab is designed to have students investigate the relationships between voltage, resistance and current in a circuit with only one passive component. This version of the lab requires students to read analog meters to get the voltage...

Determine the speed of a wave based on reading the vertical position vs. time graph simultaneously with the vertical position vs. horizontal position graph.

Read a heating curve to determine what an object's boiling point is as well as its specific heat.

Students must find out the speed of a torpedo based on readings from a sonar display.

Check your ability to read a few different sized graduated cylinders.
