Advanced Physics 2 Lab Manual

Product Code: PS-3815

Description

This experiment guide covers the latest standards for College Board Advanced Placement Physics 2.

  • Every lab is based on the College Board Learning Objectives.
  • Data Analysis and Assessment Questions are designed to prepare students for the AP® Physics 2 exam
  • Every lab employs the same strategies found in free response questions on the AP® exam
  • Includes editable student handouts.

Prepare your students for inquiry investigations in the physics lab. Each lab is presented in three ways:

  • Structured
  • Guided Inquiry
  • Student designed

You decide which level of inquiry is appropriate for each lab.

Each lab includes teacher resources:

  • Pre-lab discussion and questions
  • Procedural overview
  • Teacher tips
  • Sample data
  • Assessment and synthesis questions
  • Extended inquiry suggestions

This experiment guide also includes video support!

How-to videos are included with the manual., on the PASCO web site and on YouTube, and can even be installed on your own computers. These videos focus on setting up the labs and getting the most from your PASCO sensors and equipment.

Experiments

There are 16 investigations in the Advanced Physics 2 Experiment Guide. 8 can be performed using the PS-3816 Equipment Kit. The remainder can be performed by adding the PS-3817 Expansion Kit.
