The Physics Workshop: Integrated Hands-On Learning Hands-On Equipment That Lets Students Learn by Doing The Basics Each lab is supplied complete with curriculum materials that include background notes for the teacher, reproducible worksheets, and correlation to Science Education Standards. Most pieces attach to the Workshop Stand. The Car & Ramp, Pulleys, and Lever require a set of Hooked Masses. T he Physics Workshop is a new collection of engaging, easy-to-use lab experiments designed for today’s physics, physical science, and math teachers. Crafted from sturdy materials that shrug off abuse, the equipment looks engaging and fun, but is quantitatively accurate and will challenge even advanced students. The labs integrate seamlessly with the Timer and Photogates for analysis, and every lab comes complete with a teacher’s guide and student worksheets. P4-1900 Workshop Stand P1-1000 Hooked Masses (Pictured on page 59) $79 $55 Force, Torque, Equilibrium — The Lever Experiment at two levels with the innovative Lever. Attach the center pivot to the Workshop Stand and use Hooked Masses to create equal torques on each end and establish equilibrium. Or move the pivot near one end and find the effective torque caused by the weight of the lever itself! A complete study of balance and equilibrium. 65 cm long. 2 Requires Workshop Stand and Hooked Masses. P4-1600 Lever Lab $49 Prediction, Motion, Conservation of Energy — Racing Marbles Students will review basic concepts of instantaneous and average velocity while they learn about conservation of energy. 1 1 Racing Marbles Lab First, use conservation of energy to predict which marble will have the higher speed at the ramp’s end. Then consider average velocity and predict which marble will reach the end first! The results of this discrepant event will surprise you! Students can perform quantitative measurements quickly and easily with the convenient photogate slots. Compare the marbles’ speeds at three different positions along the tracks. 44" long. Includes two 3/4" steel marbles. Timer and 2 Photogates recommended but not included. Simple Machines, Mechanical Advantage — Pulleys The specially designed block-and-tackle makes it easy to string the pulleys with the lower pulley attached to the stand. Then simply unscrew the bolt to release it for experimentation. Even the string is well designed, with an end clip for quick setup and sliding markers to help identify the effort distance. Includes set of two triple pulleys, attachment bolts, and string. 3 Requires Workshop Stand, Hooked Masses and spring scales. Which marble will have the fastest final speed? Think about energy, then measure! P4-1500 Pulleys Lab $29 P4-1370 Racing Marbles Lab $119 Teacher’s Guide included with every lab! Place photogates in the slots for comparative velocity measurements. See Sample Activities at www.arborsci.com Now you can equip your entire physics lab: 7 essential concepts, reproducible curriculum, plus Timer and Photogates! Which marble will win the race? Think about average speed, then measure!
