Sokoloff RealTime Physics Active Learning Laboratories, 3^rd Edition

 Labs explore important physics concepts, using an empirical approach based on observed and measured phenomena. 

Labs focus on the teaching/learning issues in the lecture portion of the course, as well as logistical lab issues such as space, class size, staffing, and equipment maintenance.

Computers are used for:

• Data acquisition
• Basic mathematical modeling
• Data analysis
• Simulations

Meet the AP CED laboratory requirement of 25% instructional time spent in hands-on laboratory work, with an emphasis on inquiry-based investigations.

Modules cover these topics:

Module 1-Mechanics

Module 2-Heat and Thermodynamics

Module 3- Electricity and Magnetism

Module 4-Light and Optics
