This is a lab for High School Physics courses. It guides students through an exploration of Ohm's law and Kirchoff's laws as well as the arrangement of series, parallel and combination circuits in a highly visual and tactile setting. This lab can be facilitated with a variety of different materials depending on what teachers have available but the most basic requirements are that teachers need a relatively large number wires with alligator clips, multimeters, and several batteries.

This is a great lab for the kinematics unit in a high school physics class. Students kick a football and measure its distance and flight time. Then they use their measurements to calculate maximum height, initial velocity and angle of inclination. Great lab, just awesome.

This is a lab for the circular motion unit/chapter in high school physics. It involves measurements and calculations for 3 situations: vertical circular motion, horizontal circular motion, and projectile motion. It's a really engaging and worthwhile laboratory activity.

This is a questionnaire that can be attached as the last page of a unit test, midterm exam or final exam. The purpose is to cue students to reflect on what they've done in class, for homework and during the exam, and to provide the teacher with valuable feedback on how the students are doing in the class.

This is a computer lab for consolidating astronomy based concepts such as Kepler's laws, Universal gravitation, escape velocity and satellite motion. This package includes a powerpoint for introducing Kepler's laws, an excel file with the orbital elements of the planets, and a fill-in-the-blanks document that guides the students through the tasks of the lab. This is a good activity to do in a high school physics class that covers astronomy related topics. It also gives students good experience i

This is a great poster that illustrates the major events in mathematics that increased human understanding of the universe.
