General Analytics Physics I (GAP I) - Fall Semesters

Experiments demonstrating principles and applications of Newtonian mechanics, including kinematics, friction, force, energy, momentum, torque and simple harmonic motion. Students learn measurement practices, digital data analysis and error analysis.

I designed the GAP labs following Eugenia Etkina's Investigative Science Learning Environment ISLE. See the philosophy here.

A set of labs from a recent semester are here. Note that the order of the labs may change from semester to semester and the labs are often updated.
