About the store

I've been teaching for over 10 years in high-school and college. I've taught Integrated Science, Physics, Honors Physics, AP Physics C (Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism), AP Statistics, Honors Calculus, and AP Calculus. At a college/university level I've taught Physics 1 Online Lab, Physics 2 Online Lab, Physics 3 in-person lab, and Physics 2.

Physics with Mr S

This bundle includes 3 different labs I have on light. The labs cover topics of refraction, total internal reflection, concave mirrors, convex mirrors, and diffraction. All documents are editable and solutions are attached These topics can be especially hard to teach when you don't have physical equipment available. Therefore, these labs are solely meant to reinforce concepts learned in lecture by allowing students to play with physics in a structured environment. The only linear regression that

Physics with Mr S

These are all of my current physics 1 online labs on tpt. They can all be done in a complete virtual setting. Solutions are attached and documents are editable These labs are consistent with the learning objectives in an AP Physics (algebra based) class. Heavy emphasis is on collecting data, and obtaining numerical results that are comparable through some means of percent error. Linear regression through excel/sheets is required for many of the labs as well.

PhET Online Simulation Physics Lab: Simple Harmonic Motion

Created by

Physics with Mr S

This lab is a study of a mass on a vertical spring and consists of two main parts. The first part requires students to find the spring constant through measuring period (simple harmonic motion). The second part requires students to find the spring constant through measuring displacement from equilibrium (hookes law). Both parts require access to the simulation and to excel/google sheets for linear regression analysis. I did this lab in groups of 2. Solutions are attached and all documents are

PhET Simulation Online Physics Lab: Collisions

Created by

Physics with Mr S

This comes with the lab and the solution manual. This online lab assignment is separated into 3 parts: elastic, inelastic, and 2D elastic collisions. Feel free to omit the last part if you don't want to go over 2D. The lab allows students to investigate how momentum and kinetic energy transfer in different types of collisions. Relative velocity is also analyzed to confirm that, for elastic collisions, the relative speed of approach is equal to the relative speed of separation. Students are also

PhET Simulations Online Physics Lab: Energy (3 labs in 1!)

Created by

Physics with Mr S

This lab consists of 3 main mini-labs each with a different focus. Part 1 goes over conservative and non-conservative forces, Part 2 goes over conservation of mechanical energy, and Part 3 goes over applications of conservation of energy. The energy conversions in this lab are just kinetic to gravitational potential. Part 3 application goes over finding minimum height experimentally and theoretically for the skater to complete a loop-de-loop so a little bit of centripetal force knowledge needed

PhET Simulation Online Physics Lab: Simple Pendulum

Created by

Physics with Mr S

This lab is arranged into 3 main parts. Part 1 finds variables affecting the period of a pendulum, part 2 requires students to use linear regression analysis to find an experimental formula for the period of a pendulum. Part 2 also uses percent errors to find how accurate the experimental formula is from the known formula. Part 3 has students find the gravitational acceleration on "Planet X" by gathering data and analyzing the mean and standard deviation of calculated values. Solutions are atta

Online Physics Lab: Friction (3 Simulations Included!)

Created by

Physics with Mr S

This lab is arranged into three parts, each using it's own simulation. Part 1 goes over static friction on an incline, part 2 goes over finding the coefficient of static friction through linear regression, part 3 goes over 1D static and kinetic friction. The use of excel/google sheets is required for the linear regression graph in part 2, and I've made a free document as a refresher for doing linear regression on a computer in my "Other Resources" you can download as well. This lab is fully ed

PhET Simulation Online Physics Lab: Newtons Second Law

Created by

Physics with Mr S

This lab is split into 3 different parts using 2 different simulations. All parts requires access to excel/google sheets, the internet (for Phet simulations), as well as taking pictures of drawn free body diagrams. Parts 1 and 2 focus on applying basic linear regression analysis to Newtons Second Law. Part 3 uses at Atwood pulley simulation that outputs velocity vs time data. Students will need to find theoretical and experimental acceleration, do percent error, and error analysis. Solutions

PhET Simulation Online Physics Lab: Torque and Equilibrium

Created by

Physics with Mr S

This lab is arranged into 3 main parts. Part 1 and 2 use the "balancing act" PhET simulation, part 3 uses images of a lab I did in class. Part 1 requires students to find a way to arrange given masses to balance them, and then has students analyze torques about the system in equilibrium to prove the net torque is zero. Part 2 has students use torque analysis to find unknown masses. Part 3 has students analyze torques to find the mass of a lever arm. The lab is meant to be fully online, it prom

Physics with Mr S

This lab is arranged into four parts. Part 1 goes over horizontal projectiles, part 2 goes over calculations for projectile motion, part 3 goes over symmetry in projectile motion paths, and part 4 goes over the range formula and finding g through linear regression. The lab concludes with 8 general questions and MCQ about projectile motion. The lab is meant to be completely online and uses Phet simulations for every part. It requires copy/pasting of graphs made in excel or google sheets. I did t

Physics with Mr S

This lab can be done in a complete virtual setting and is separated into two main parts. In part 1, students find the identity of 5 unknown objects through measuring mass and volume through water displacement. Part 2 isn't simulation based, but prompts a few theoretical density problems, as well as explores the purpose of a few other measurement devices.

This document goes over how to do linear regression in both excel and google sheets. I provide in-depth discussion and do a full example outright. There is an analysis discussion at the end going over how to quantify precision, accuracy, and error in general experimental physics. Graphing with a computer is needed for many of my labs

Physics with Mr S

This Physics 1 Online Lab Final Review consists of 20 questions with solutions at the end. The questions are focused around things you would only know how to do if you took a lab class. It goes over questions such as: sigfigs, conversions, percent error, quantifying accuracy, quantifying precision, vectors, linear regression analysis, general problem solving based on previous labs, and the final question requires students to actually make a graph and use linear regression from that graph.

Basic Terms and Definitions for Experimental Physics

Created by

Physics with Mr S

A major theme throughout experimental physics is error/uncertainty analysis and analyzing precision and accuracy. Primary ways of doing so are through means, standard deviations, coefficients of determination (R^2), percent difference, and percent error. This packet gives a brief overview of their definitions and how to apply them. It makes a good reference handout to students taking a lab class.

About the store

Experience

Teaching style

Physics stands apart from every other science in that labs can be done with practically any materials. Labs are meant to not only reinforce learning from physics lecture, but to also introduce a systematic method of scientific inquiry. Experimental physics is twofold. Firstly, it requires a detailed and systemic approach to collect data. In an online setting, the subtle art of data collection is largely suppressed through simulations that inherently have no systematic error. Secondly, it requires a detailed and systematic approach to data analysis. Such data analysis includes but is not limited to linear regression through excel, precision analysis (R^2, standard deviations, percent difference), accuracy analysis (percent error), and systematic uncertainty analysis. Many online labs out there are just used as a tool for conceptual understanding or for basic calculations from errorless simulations. This is how my labs differ. My labs stress both data collection techniques and data analysis that compare experimental data to theoretical results using common techniques (listed above) used in the world of experimental physics.
