Kinetic and Potential Digital Energy Lab Activity | Physical Science Notebook
Students will demonstrate potential energy by holding a ball at different heights (100 and 200 centimeters) and drop it to demonstrate kinetic energy to investigate how high a ball will bounces the first time. Students will work in small groups and be engaged in the scientific process by identifying and labeling the scientific method by following simple procedures, filling out a data chart, and complete a bar graph.

Graphing Motion: Walking Lab
This lab is the basis of a unit on motion for a physical science or physics class. The data students collect are used to make common motion graphs that can be used to teach the meaning of slopes and the source of motion equations. The lab is fun to do, gets students out of the classroom, and make physics visible to the rest of the school.

Newton’s Laws: Lecture Notes, 7 Problems, and 7 Labs
This resource was written for AP and IB students, but could be used for any physics class after adjustments to the level of math of the students. The resource can be made into scaffolded notes by deleting some of the info, solutions to the problems, etc and having students complete those with you as you talk through them. The 9 pages of lecture notes cover how to use Newton’s laws to solve problems. The 7 example problems: 1) hanging masses in static equilibrium, 2) a mass on a frictionless ramp

Kinetic and Potential Energy Ball Bounce Lab
This is a great lab to review Kinetic and Potential energy for middle school students. The only materials needed are meter sticks, masking tape and bouncy balls. Students will bounce balls from different heights and record the height the balls bounced back at. They will then create a bar graph to compare the average bounce heights for the different starting bounce heights. Analysis questions conclude this lab.

Vector Labs for Physics
The best labs get students out of the classroom. Vector labs are good ways to do this. These are examples of labs you can tailor to your school and the number of groups you have. Koosh balls make great treasures to hunt for, but you can use anything that works for you.The first year you do the lab at a school, there's a bit of preparation in working out directions that match your school (this resource has versions that were used at 2 different schools). But grading is straightforward and student

Torque Lecture Notes-AP-C Physics
The first 4 pages are the second of 3 sets of lecture notes for the rotational motion unit. The concept of torque is introduced and used to solve 6 static equilibrium problems. The next 4 pages (in red) are scaffolded notes without solutions to the last 3 problems so that students can solve the problems as you go through the notes together or as they work in groups. The next 5 pages have more information on solving the ladder problems. The last 2 pages are a lab (and solutions) that use metersti
