Archimedes’ Principle & Buoyancy—Advanced Inquiry Laboratory Kit
AP* Physics 2, Big Ideas 1 & 3, Investigation 1
The lab begins with an introductory activity to determine the buoyant force on a vial in water. Students create and use free-body diagrams to analyze the situation. The procedure provides a model for a guid- ed-inquiry activity, during which students design and carry out experiments to determine the density of an unknown salt solution and the volume and density of a clay piece.

AP* Physics 2, Big Ideas 1 & 5, Investigation 2
This advanced-inquiry lab begins with
an introductory class demonstration of conservation of mass flow in order to give students a basic understanding of fluids. Students are encouraged to engage in a class discussion regarding conservation of energy to evaluate the continuity equation. This leads to a guided-inquiry activity in which students design and carry out an investigation to determine the rate of flow of water from a container.

The purpose of this advanced-inquiry inves- tigation is to derive a mathematical equation describing the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature. Students set up a special appa- ratus and quantify the amount of applied force to compress the gas. In the guided-in- quiry portion, students derive the relationship between pressure and volume by construct- ing graphs, which they must interpret to determine the amount of work done on, or by, the gas.

AP* Physics 2, Big Ideas 2 & 3, Investigation 9
This advanced-inquiry lab uses an activ- ity-stations approach to guide students through an in-depth exploration of four specific magnetic properties. 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 of a permanent magnet.

AP* Physics 2, Big Idea 5, Investigation 4
In the introductory activity, students press their wrists against plastic and metal spoons to come up with a qualitative description
of the heat transfer. In the guided-inquiry portion, students explore two slightly more quantitative methods for determining thermal conductivities and then compare between the two methods and question the limits of their various experimental designs.

Advanced Inquiry Laboratory Kit
AP* Physics 2 Big Ideas 4 & 5, Investigation 8
Students apply Kirchoff’s rules to resistor- capacitor (RC) circuits and study how the arrangement of circuit components affects current and potential. Students measure the current and potential difference across resis- tors in series and parallel circuits. Ohm’s
law is used to confirm the resistance values printed on the resistors. In the guided- inquiry experiments, students determine the effect of placing capacitors in series and in parallel.
