oPhysics simulations
AP Physics has shown to be a rigorous class for juniors, with many equations to memorize and derivations to remember. These challenges are compelling the students to employ various study strategies to pass their assessments, some of which are shown below!

Ultimate "cheat sheet" for UCM , Springs, and Gravitational Motion
Recording data in their lab notebooks, CHARGE juniors conducted a lab with the objective of determining the spring constant of a spring using two different methods.
First, they wrote out the procedure of the lab for both methods: vertically hanging a mass and horizontally pulling a string.
Next, they collected data for each of the 10 total trials, recording the mass, displacement, and applied/gravity force.
Finally, they plotted all the data points on a scatterplot and ran linear regressions to find the line of best fit. The magnitude of the slope found was the spring constant!
