Physics Explorations and Projects - Print and E-Book

Product information "Physics Explorations and Projects - Print and E-Book"

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.
