Physics Explorations and Projects
This book contains over 30 guided-inquiry-based investigations for physics students to explore and analyze key physics concepts included in NGSS. Description Physics Explorations and Projects is a collection of laboratory investigations aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Most included investigations set up a situation for students to explore and analyze with some guidance from the instructor—a guided-inquiry format that is very different from traditional laboratory experiments that provide step-by-step instructions. The activities are editable and appropriate for high school students from 9th grade to AP Physics. Sample results are included with the extensive instructor information. Due to the nature of these activities, minimal instruction is provided for software use and data analysis. Instructor experience with Vernier sensors and software is recommended.

Advanced Physics with Vernier — Mechanics - Print and E-Book
Physisch / Elektronisch: Printed
Use Vernier probeware to teach mechanics concepts at the college physics, Advanced Placement (AP) Physics, or International Baccalaureate (IB) Physics level. Use it in addition to Physics with Vernier (PWV) for a comprehensive set of topics. Advanced Physics with Vernier – Mechanics is the first of a two-volume set of new experiments for the more in-depth introductory physics course, such as college physics, AP Physics, or IB Physics. Experiments are designed for an interactive teaching style, with planned moments for instructor or student-led discussion. Instructor notes include discussion on how to lead students to a successful activity. The book includes many extensions to challenge the most talented students.
