Laws Workshop Physics Activity Guide, 3rd Edition

Author: Priscilla W. Laws, David P. Jackson, Brett J. Pearson

Grades 9–12

Course: AP® Physics 1, 2, and C

Inquiry-based activities in the modules give students the opportunity to work collaboratively to solve problems, while thinking critically to make predictions and observations. Students record, display, and analyze data, as well as develop mathematical models of physical phenomena. Design of many of the activities is based on the outcomes of physics education research and helps the physics come alive for the students.

Help physics come alive for students

 

Mathematical Modeling Photo and description example

 

Units use mathematical modeling of real-world events to engage students.
