Description
Overview
The Physics Investigation Kit provides high school students with a full laboratory experience exploring core physics principles including heat transfer, electrical circuits, magnetism, force interactions, and energy conversion. Using an extensive variety of materials, from beakers and thermometers to motors, multimeters, magnets, LEDs, dowels, and PVC pipe, students design and run authentic physics investigations that model real-world engineering concepts.
What Students Learn
-
Heat energy, temperature, and thermal properties
-
Mechanical forces, motion, and simple machines
-
Electric current, resistance, and circuit behavior
-
Magnetic fields, induction, and electromagnetism
-
Energy transfer and transformation
-
Engineering design processes and measurement techniques
Classroom-Ready Design
