[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...
