FLINN SCIENTIFIC I AP* PHYSICS 2Kirchoff’s RulesAP Physics 2 Big Ideas 4 & 5, Investigation 8 The purpose of this advanced-inquiry lab activity is to apply Kirchoff’s rules to resistor-capacitor (RC) circuits and study the effect that the arrangement of circuit components has on current and changes in potential. First, students practice the laboratory technique of using a multimeter to measure the current and potential difference across resistors in series and parallel circuits. Ohm’s law is used to confirm the resistance values printed on the resistors. The procedure provides a model for the guided-inquiry design of experiments to determine the effect of placing capacitors in series and in parallel. As an optional extension, the RC time constant for various arrange-ments may be predicted and assessed for accuracy. AP8003 I $127.85A Magnetism InvestigationAP Physics 2, Big Ideas 2 & 3, Investigation 9 This advanced-inquiry lab uses an activ-ity-station approach to guide students through an in-depth exploration of magnetic properties. Each of the four guided-inquiry activities are self-contained, focusing on a specific topic. Gravity vs. Magnetism analyzes the difference in magnitude between the forces of gravity and magnetism. Induced Fields constructs a model of the magnetic field to illustrate the Right-Hand Rules and how magnetic fields are induced from electric currents in a wire. Magnetic Domains studies iron filings in a test tube to gain an understanding of the abstract concept of a magnetic domain. Magnetic Field explores how compasses deflect in the presence of the Earth’s magnetic field and that of a permanent magnet. AP8004 I $102.25Electromagnetic Induction AP Physics 2, Big Idea 4, Investigation 10 This advanced-inquiry lab begins with an introductory activity in which students use a galvanome-ter, coils of wire and a magnet to investigate the effect of magnetic flux on a coil of wire through a structured-inquiry approach. This procedure provides a model for a guided-inquiry activity in which students are chal-lenged to design a procedure and use available materials to build an AC generator that lights an LED.AP8005 I $122.35Reflection and Mirrors AP Physics 2, Big Idea 6, Investigation 11 The purpose of this advanced-inquiry lab is to design a procedure to identify the properties of curved mirrors, both concave and convex. The lab begins with an introductory activity to investigate the law of reflection using a single plane mirror. Students draw the rays of incidence and reflection and measure the angles between them to find the location of the reflected object. A series of guided-inquiry questions lead students to predict the focal length of a curved mirror and the location and type of image. Students perform experiments to confirm their predictions. Enough materials are provided for a single demonstration setup of the Introductory Activity and a single demonstration setup of the Guided-Inquiry experiments. Additional sets of meter stick optics equipment and mirrors are available separately.AP8006 I $40.75AP* PHYSICS 2 INQUIRY KITS, CONTINUED
