Honors uses a cart launched fr a compressed spring to travel same dist before elastic & nylon cords provide an impulse. Ss analyze the Ft graphs to see if the impulses are the same. A pendulum clamp is used to ensure cord and string are same length before stretch. #iteachphysics

Honors NRG challenge lab. Ss use spring hoop @VernierST & force sensor to det k value of hoop. Each group then given diff incline angle, hoop compression & mass in cart. Ss predict max position cart reaches after launch. Ss have no access to cart until test <10% err#iteachphysics

AP investigates series, parallel, compound, and Kirchhoff using @pascoscientific circuit kit. Way better than using a circuit board with all of those wires to get in the way! Students thoroughly enjoyed themselves. #iteachPhysics.

Honors students find k value of 2 different springs. Springs are impounded. Ss are then given series spring formula and asked to predict stretch for a known mass. #iteachphysics

Honors incline challenge. Ss drag box across level track at const v w/ force sensor to get kinetic friction to det u. Track now set at unique angle w diff wt in box. Each group gets mystery mass to hang over pulley. Ss get acc of box. must determine mystery mass #iteachphysics

Honors records acc data w fan carts using various added masses. Challenge is each group has fan cart impounded and must predict final speed w fan at a unique angle with an added mass they didn’t use after moving a certain distance. #iteachphysics
