A two-session lab where students explore induction by dropping magnets through a coil.

Getting beyond human error, confronting expectations that experiments will confirm known principles.

Students learn about quantitatively comparing uncertain measurements through simple Colab programming.

Relationship between pitch and physical properties of an object.

Students discover circuit principles hands-on: lighting bulbs, building series/parallel circuits, measuring current & voltage, and creating I-V graphs for nonlinear resistors.

Students investigate the relationship between steepness and speed of randomly moving particles, modeled by small vibrating toys called HexBots.

Students iteratively refine pendulum period measurements across three weeks, learning to quantify, reduce, and compare uncertainty while practicing collaborative, evidence-based experimental reasoning.

This is a lab notebook with instructions and starter code for a two week lab on Hooke's Law and stretchy objects in general.

Students build magnetism concepts hands-on, practice scientific integrity through the Millikan case study, and learn to critique and craft research questions for independent investigation.

Students find the limits—not confirmation—of Hooke's Law for everyday objects, making all experimental decisions and building skills in design, uncertainty analysis, and scientific argumentation.

Students explore electrostatic charging hands-on, distinguish observation from inference, propose multiple charge arrangements, and design tests to evaluate competing explanations.

Students learn about uncertainty in repeated measurements through simple Colab programming.

Students test whether air resistance affects a tossed object's acceleration, using iterative experiment design, uncertainty analysis, and scientific integrity practices over two lab sessions.

Students design and refine oscillation experiments with plucked rulers, centering scientific integrity, bias mitigation, statistical comparison, and peer presentation of findings.
