Description
CTY Physics Kit designed for Johns Hopkins Physics Class
Laboratory experiments can be a challenge for teachers in small schools or home schools. This manual and the accompanying kit are an effort to help solve this problem. The hands-on laboratory exercises have been designed with two principle goals in mind: 1) educational challenge and 2) convenience for the teacher.
Every experiment clearly teaches a scientific principle. They cover a number of topics usually taught at the 11th or 12th grade level.
The equipment has been chosen or, in some cases, developed by the authors, to produce successful results and give the student a real learning experience. The goal was to produce a kit that is of excellent quality, affordable, and durable.Experiments covered in the kit:
Projectile Motion
Newton’s 2nd Law
Friction
Centripetal Force
Energy
Pendulum
Speed of Sound
Lenses
Wavelength of Light
