| Title | Forces in 1D PhET Lab |
| Simulations | Gaya Satu Dimensi |
| Keywords | Forces, Newton's Laws, Acceleration |
| Description | Two-page (low paper use) lab with ten-point formal assessment at its conclusion. The lab should take no more than 50 minutes, including calculations and questions. This lab is easy for the students to perform and easy to grade. If absent, this lab can be done at home with little instructor input. This lab is performed early in a forces, friction, and Newton's laws unit at an urban high school in Las Vegas, Nevada. |

Comments
What do you think about this activity? How did you use it or change it for your class? Professionally constructive comments welcome.
- This activity was very helpful. I used it with my 11th grade college prep students. I thought the directions were very clear, and the lab activity improved student understanding. 09/11/23
- I used it with my 10th grade students. Students stated that the directions were clear, and that they had no difficulties with any portion of the activity, and that it supported their growing knowledge of linear motion. 11/07/11
- Chris writes really good labs for students who are not yet ready for full-on inquiry. I teach algebra physics to 9th graders, and they are overwhelmed when the directions are not clear enough. Thanks for sharing, Chris! 12/05/03
