AP* Physics 1, Big Idea 3, Investigation 1
In the introductory activity, students solve for the acceleration due to gravity, g, by dropping small steel balls a known distance and measuring their free-fall times. The guided-inquiry and design activity encour- ages students to refine the procedure to minimize experimental error. Additional opportunities for inquiry are possible.

AP* Physics 1, Big Idea 3, Investigation 2
The lab’s introductory activity familiarizes students with the laws of kinematics and the use of motion detectors by asking them to draw simple position vs. time and velocity vs. time graphs. The guided-inquiry and design activity challenges students to monitor their walking speeds using motion detectors to replicate position vs. time and velocity vs. time graphs. Opportunities for inquiry include testing a motion detector.

AP* Physics 1, Big Ideas 2 & 3, Investigation 3
Students identify variables that affect
the acceleration of a modified Atwood’s machine consisting of a Hall’s carriage connected to a hanging mass and then design experiments to determine the accel- eration of the system. The results lead to an understanding of the relationships among the net force exerted on an object, its iner- tial mass and its acceleration.

Conservation of Energy on an Inclined Plane—Advanced Inquiry Laboratory Kit
AP* Physics 1, Big Idea 5, Investigation 6 Students use their critical-thinking skills and knowledge of the conservation of energy principle to predict the distance a small steel ball travels when launched from an inclined plane. In the introductory activity, students determine how changing the release height, mass of the ball and angle of the inclined plane may affect the launch distance. In the guided-inquiry activity, students apply their initial findings to launch a steel ball a specific distance.

AP* Physics 1, Big Idea 3, Investigation 4
The purpose of this advanced-inquiry lab is to design a procedure to identify the phys- ical variables that affect the force of friction between two objects. The lab begins with an introductory activity to determine the coeffi- cient of static and kinetic friction between a wood block and a tabletop. Students create and use free-body diagrams to analyze each situation. The procedure provides a model for the guided-inquiry activity, during which students design and carry out experiments to determine variables that influence fric- tional forces between surfaces.

AP* Physics 1, Big Idea 3, Investigation
5 Students begin with an introductory activity to explore the relationship between centripetal force and tangential velocity. The results provide a model for the guid- ed-inquiry design of a procedure to identify other factors that affect the centripetal acceleration of an object in circular motion.
