Essential Physics Laboratory Investigations

Product Code: EP-6326

Description

This student-consumable Essential Physics Laboratory Investigations manual included 44 labs to cover a full year of introductory physics.

Experiments

There are 46 labs and activities covering a full year of physics topics. The activities have been designed around PASCO sensors and equipment. The Comprehensive Equipment Kit provides what is needed to perform all 46 labs. Or you can purchase individual kits that allow you to pick and choose which units (Mechanics, Torque & Simple Machines, Oscillations, Waves & Sound, Electromagetism, and Light, Color, & Optics) you would like to cover.
