3/3 Physics: Calorimetry Lab
Physics: Calorimetry lab
Students in physics today were challenged to find the specific heat capacity of three different unknown materials using calorimeters and thermometers. They were not given specific instructions, so they had to work together to think of their own experiment to find each material's specific heat capacity and use that value to determine what the materials were. #Calorimetry lab🌡

3/3 AP Physics 1: Sticky Tape Activity
AP Physics 1: Sticky Tape Activity
In AP Physics 1 today, students used sticky tape, aluminum foil, paper, a PVC pipe, and a glass rod to create models for charge transfer and interactions between charges of different objects. It was their first exploration of electrostatics this year. Students were tasked to observe interactions between the given objects after ripping pieces of tape apart. Like magic, the pieces of tape experienced an invisible electric force from different
