Product Details
Frances J. Poodry, Joshua Ence, and Thomas M. Smith. Physics Explorations and Projects is a collection of laboratory investigations aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Most of the 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, which provide step-by-step instructions. The activities are editable and appropriate for high school students from grade 9 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. Provides print book, e-book, and site license. Vernier sensors and Vernier computer interface are sold separately.
