Labs and/or Demos
Measurement – length, mass, time, area, volume. Use non standard objects to measure and do conversion process
Graph matching – linear (uniform) motion with constant velocity (slope) - distance time graphs
Ball toss – parabolic (uniformly accelerating) motion for examining distance – time and velocity – time graphs
Other motions – oscillating pendulum, cart up/down incline, student jumping in air, mass oscillatating at the end of a spring, revisit ball toss too.
Picket Fence Freefall - Reaction time calculation using
Bungee jump acceleration – compare to actual data
Newton’s 2nd Law using dynamics cart, force sensor, and accelerometers
Newton’s 3rd Law using force sensors
Effects of air resistance using coffee filters
Energy of a tossed ball
Momentum, energy and collisions using dynamics carts and ball bouncing
