Practical Lab Activities


The following activities are designed to illustrate important concepts with minimal equipment. Each activity here is in MS Word format.


Ohm's Law


Use a multimeter and assorted resistors to analyze the voltage-current-resistance relationship.
RC Exponential Decay

A resistor, a capacitor, a meter, and voila, you have exponential decay.
Electrostatics Activities


These activities use but the simplest materials to demonstrate electrostatics.
Orbital Dynamics Experiment


Learn about orbits and circular motion with just a little more than some string.
Simple Harmonic Motion


A spring, some washers, and...bounce-bounce-bounce!
Wave Demonstration


If you have students you have all the equipment you need...
Stretch Newton Newton's Second Law of Motion with rubber bands.
