Visual Scientifics Ballistic Pendulum, Velocity investigation highlights conservation of energy and momentum., Each

Details

This Ballistic Pendulum Kit is designed to engage students in exploring velocity, kinetic energy, and potential energy. The kit includes a spring-loaded launcher, a rigid-arm pendulum with a barrel, a measuring board, a solid ball, and a small metal rod with a handle. Also included are a laboratory manual and student worksheet that describe experiments and provide resources for instructors to help with lesson planning and student experimentation. The activities cover approximately 2-3 hours of classroom or laboratory time and align with Common Core Standards and Next Generation Science Standards Concepts. Note: This kit does not include all required components for the outlined experiments. Additional required/recommended components include: • Visual Scientifics Magnetic Base (PHVSBASE) • Video camera • Graphing software • Carbon paper • Safety glasses • Visual Scientifics Photogate System (PHVSPGS) • Scale for obtaining masses • Caliper • Cup or box
