OVERVIEW |
Science teachers who want to bring an inquiry-based, hands-on approach to their middle school classrooms can enable their students to think and act like real scientists with Science Kit Physics Lab. Developed in partnership with Google, the kit, along with nine exciting projects, challenges students to explore and explain the physics behind amusement park rides. They examine forces, motion, magnetism, and conductivity, make their own hypotheses like real scientists, then check their assumptions and log data on Google’s Science Journal app, a digital notebook for conducting and documenting science experiments in real-time. No prior coding experience is needed - students can simply run their experiments straight out of the box with plug-and-play projects.
What is Science Kit Physics Lab?Science Kit Physics Lab includes all the hardware and software needed to assemble and conduct nine fun physics experiments based on favorite amusement park rides, covering electromagnetism, thermodynamics, kinetics, and kinematics. The kit includes a range of sensors to measure light, temperature, motion, and magnetic fields, along with a set of props and access to online course content for both teachers and students. You’ll just need to provide a few essential classroom supplies (pencils, rulers, etc.) and a LiPo battery. We recommend two students per kit. More here. How Science Kit Physics Lab works?Never fear - no prior electronics knowledge is required. Students simply upload a sketch of their amusement park ride onto an Arduino board, connect their Android mobile device to the board, build their project, and then use the onboard sensor and plug-and-play modules to simulate the ride’s dynamics. Data is transmitted from the experiment to the student's mobile device via Bluetooth, where they can analyze and record their results in Google’s Science Journal App or on worksheets.
Electromagnetism and Thermodynamics
Kinetics and Kinematics
The projects featured in the kit have been aligned with several National curricula including the Next Generation Science Standard (NGSS) for K-12, and the National UK Curriculum.
