  • The Motion of Cars Lab-

The Motion of Cars lab explores the relationship between the velocity and position of the cars. Driving a car or riding a bicycle involves the use of velocity, which is a vector. An example of velocity is 23 mph east. An object's position is its location in relation to a specific reference point. An example of position in physics may be the starting point or ending point in a lab.


  • Circuit Lab-


Have you ever wondered how your speaker for your phone works? Well, it all involves circuitry work and the charge and voltage of the circuit. A simple direct current circuit consists of a voltage, a load, and the wires connecting them, which creates the circuit loop. In this lab, we learned how to measure voltage and current in a circuit and how to investigate the relationship between the two.

  • Electricity Lab-

Have you ever been shocked by something before? Well, if you have it is most likely due to friction and electrostatic electricity. Electrostatic electricity is when electric charges are at rest. A charge is usually created by friction and also uses the polarization process. In this lab, I learned about polarization, charges, and conductors & inductors.
