Lab_ElectricMotor
Build, video, and explain an electric motor. You may use or not use a permanent magnet in your design.
Do you explanation as a video lecture or PowerPoint with narration (https://www.uwec.edu/kb/article/how-to-add-audio-to-powerpoint-on-windows-10-and-mac/).

Due:
Lab-Kirchhoff
Prove the Kirchhoff's Loop and Intersection Rules are valid.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO SHORT THROUGH AN AMMETER. Always start at a high current setting and work your way towards more sensitive.
No graphs are necessary. You must calculate theoretical currents based on individual resistor resistances and battery voltage (when in live circuit).
Maximum grade is based on circuit complexity. No A-grade if series and parallel rules could be used to solve R-eff for circuit nor if there is only one battery.
Sketch circuit ahead of time and get approval if you are concerned.

Complete the lab. Submit your lab write-up and pictures/videos in a zip file in a couple weeks. Your zip file must be under 50MB in total size. So, use the lowest resolution that still gives good quality to the naked eye and keep the videos short (4 to 8 sec). Try to keep pictures should be under 50 KB in size each and videos under 10MB each.

Lab: Second of Three
Due:
First Lab of Three
The instructions are the same for all three labs. Make sure you follow the lab format from last year.
Motion Lab: Create a Velocity vs Time graph and build a roller coaster that will recreate that graph in real life.
The question should ask if the v vs t graph can be built.
The v vs t graph should have been approved by Mr. Carr.
The hypothesis should include a d vs t graph, a vs t graph and values for the accelerations.
To run the lab, create a surface with tick marks that can be viewed as you record a ball rolling through your "roller coaster" (ie. masking tape or long strip of paper).
Keep the slope small, because the video will get blurry quickly if the ball rolls too quickly.
Make sure that each section of your roller coaster has at least 3 data points on it (choose a time interval at makes this work).
Show your calculation for where your hypothesis values for theoretical acceleration came from somewhere (ie in hypothesis or error analysis).
Energy Conservation Lab: Choose an object in your house (preferably a spring) that you will analysis a property of (preferably k) using energy conservation. While one of the following two labs must include a graph, this one likely won't be it.
Partner to Energy Conservation Lab: With the same object and analyzing the same property measure that property again using a different Physics concept (preferably force). In this lab, graph your data in such a way that the slope of the graph is the quantity being measured. In this lab's error analysis section, create an extra section (besides accuracy and precision) to contrast the relative strengths of the two experimental methods you created.
