Students measure acceleration due to gravity in this free-fall activity. Video analysis allows modeling of air resistance.
- 20 page lab manual included, with activities and extensions
- Covers 12 NGSS and 13 common core standards
- Platform neutral - works with your preferred probeware/video analysis tools
This free fall system makes it easy to study acceleration due to gravity, and video analysis extension activities make it possible for students to model air resistance. The included lab manual provides approximately three hours of laboratory activities. Instructions are written to explicitly cover Next Generation Science Standards and common core concepts.
