    16. Polarized Light Waves

    The purpose of this activity is to see how light is polarized as it passes through special lenses.

    15. Resonance

    The purpose of this activity is to see how sound waves will resonate in a pipe if the pipe is of the appropriate length compared to the length of a sound wave.

    14. Converging Lenses: Find the Focal Length

    The purpose of this activity is to see how the ‘thin-lens equation’ allows you to predict where an image will be formed by a converging lens.

  4. 01/30/2013 · VIDEO

    13. Guess the Gas & Line Spectra

    The purpose of this activity is to remind you of what you know about atomic transitions and how they determine the color of gas discharges. You will also get to review the electromagnetic spectrum.

    12. Conservation on a Ramp

    The purpose of this activity is to measure the kinetic and potential energy at two positions of an object moving on a low-friction ramp.

    11. Potential & Kinetic Energy

    The purpose of this activity is to look at the visible result of kinetic energy being converted to potential energy, and vice versa, on a simple ‘roller coaster toy.’

    10. Getting to Know a Ballistic Pendulum

    The purpose of this activity is to become familiar with a ballistic pendulum. You will make some connections between the concepts of momentum, kinetic energy, and gravitational potential energy. You will also remind yourself of the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions.

    9. Multimeters and Ohm's Law

    The purpose of this activity is to predict the current flowing in a simple circuit using Ohm’s Law and to use a multimeter as an ammeter to measure the current.
