Description:   Extra motors used in our popular Catch the Bug Activity.

Description:   The AP Physics Kits Class Set features all 24 Physics labs.

Description:   The Circular Motion Lab features two entertaining experiments.

Description:   With the experiments in the Waves on a String Lab, students explore the behavior of a standing wave and how tension and linear density affect its period and wavelength.

Description:   This lab shows students how to practice good data collection.

Description:   Through a conductor, students investigate Ohm's Law, the factors that affect electrical currents, and the resistance coding system.

Description:   Working with a model of a ladder, students determine the coefficient of friction necessary to keep the ladder in static equilibrium.

Description:   Explore Force, Acceleration and Hooke's Law. No tools required.

Description:   Uses torsion spring bundles and levers to launch ping pong balls.

Description:   Three Tuning Forks With Variable Frequencies

Description:   Investigate the path of a horizontally-launched projectile and then predict where the ball will land. In this experiment, a ball rolled horizontally off a table allows students to measure the launch velocity and reinforces the idea that horizontal velocity remains constant, while the vertical velocity increases. The kit includes a curved ramp, steel and wooden balls, plumb line, C-clamp, golf ball, stopwatch, calipers, and a catch cup. Required but not included are a meterstick and a photogate system.

Description:   In the Hooke's Law and Conservation of Energy experiment, students investigate the spring constant of a launching mechanism and use the information to determine its landing position.

Description:   Projectile motion is one of the most important topics in Newtonian mechanics, next to Hooke's Law for springs. Explore both in a very simple and robust setup.
