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
