The lab ideas and associated pages in The Laboratory section of this web site are designed to help teachers improve their lab programs by adopting labs with a purpose. There are over 150 lab ideas …

This collection of interactive simulations allow learners of Physics to explore core physics concepts by altering variables and observing the results. This section contains nearly 100 simulations and the …

Study the motion of waves on a string and the effect of tension, density and damping upon their behavior with the Slinky Lab Interactive. Create standing waves and investigate their patterns with the …

This collection of interactive simulations allow learners of Physics to explore core physics concepts by altering variables and observing the results. This section contains nearly 100 simulations and the …

The philosophy behind the labs at The Laboratory is to identify labs which center around a testable question. Providing students with a clearly-defined question frees them up to explore the answer …

We have a collection of ~150 labs in the Laboratory section of the website. Each lab was intended to be used with a lab notebook where students report their data and findings and state their conclusion …

Phase Changes Lab simulation allows a learner to explore the relationship between temperature, the phase of matter (solid, liquid, and gas), particle behavior, and their intermolecular forces.

A complete lab write-up includes a Title, a Purpose, a Data section, a Conclusion and a Discussion of Results. The Data section should include a sketch of the velocity-time graph representing the object's …
