Electric Field Mapping— Inquiry Lab Kit
AP® Physics 2, Big Idea 2, Investigation 6
This advanced inquiry lab begins with
an introductory activity that familiarizes students with mapping equipotential lines of a dipole charge setup. Next, guiding questions lead students to map out the field lines themselves and to consider vari- ous potential setups that would produce different electric field configurations. This lab uses high-quality conducting ink pens and greatly enhances students’ understand- ing of an abstract and difficult concept.

Thermal Conductivity— Inquiry Lab Kit
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.
Investigating Electric Charge— Inquiry Lab Kit
AP® Physics 2, Big Ideas 1, 3 & 5, Investigation 5
Students begin with an introductory activity in which they investigate electrostatic inter- actions between pieces of tape. Students develop an understanding of opposite charges and how charges are transferred. This experiment sets the stage for the guided-inquiry design of a procedure to determine the magnitude of electrostatic charge on a hanging pith ball. The results give students applicable experience with Coulomb’s law.

Kirchoff ’s Rules— Inquiry Lab 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
Capacitance and RC Circuits— Inquiry Lab Kit
AP® Physics 2, Big Idea 4, Investigation 7
This advanced inquiry lab guides students through an introductory activity in which they build their own capacitors and study the variables that affect how much charge can be stored. In the guided-inquiry activ- ity, students use their capacitor along with known capacitors in a circuit containing an LED, which allows for a semi-quantitative measurement of the time constant of an RC circuit.

A Magnetism Investigation— Inquiry Lab Kit
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.
