Subject: [Phys-L] motion lab
Does anyone do a "constant velocity" lab? Like using constant
velocity cars (Tumble Buggies)? If so, what do students
measure (just d and t?)? Do they make a graph? Cookbook or
open-ended? Is it more about measuring than finding the actual speed?
I'm looking for something low tech (for high school) and
meaningful. Just stopwatches and meter sticks. Wanting some
ideas to make a "basic" lab like this interesting...
