Camping Trip: How Can We Measure the Wavelength of Light Emitted From Stars?
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

In this activity, students are presented with the situation that they are on a camping trip and wish to know the wavelength emitted by a star. They are given a laser to simulate the starlight and use a diffraction grating and a ruler to determine the wavelength of its light, then compare their results with accepted wavelengths given on the electromagnetic spectrum chart.

Rating
0.0 stars

This first course in the physics curriculum introduces classical mechanics. Historically, a set of core concepts—space, time, mass, force, momentum, torque, and angular momentum—were introduced in classical mechanics in order to solve the most famous physics problem, the motion of the planets.

Collision Course!
Rating
0.0 stars

This is a PBL project that had students build a "collision contraption" to be used as the basis for understanding the concepts of impulse and momentum. It was specifically designed to help students increase their depth of knowledge of impulse, momentum, and the differences in energy and momentum conservation between elastic and inelastic collisions. The project required students to design, build, and then use as a basis to prove their applied mastery of impulse and momentum, a contraption that would accurately predict the 2-dimensional motion of colliding objects, as well as to demonstrate the value of modern automobile design features in terms of safety. Note that the project was designed and delivered per the North Carolina honors Physics curriculum and it can be customized to meet your own specific curriculum needs and resources.

Comparing Mechanical Advantage and Efficiency of Pulleys
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

This lab activity is designed to allow students to experience what an increase in mechanical advantage means. Students determine the mechanical advantage of three pulley set-ups. Students also measure the work input and output, then calculate the efficiency. Finally, students determine the relationship between the mechanical advantage and the efficiency of the pulleys.
