Experiment List

1. Which is Water?: by determining and comparing properties of liquids, students determine which liquid is water.
2. Polymers and slime: students learn what a polymer is and make their own slime.
3. Why are gems colored: learning about light and its properties to explain the coloring of gems.
4. Fractals: using a computer program, students generate their own fractals (patterns/tilings of irregular shapes).
5. Saturation and Crystals: students use a kit to make rock crystals to understand the concept of saturation.
6. Graphing Your Motion: students use motion detectors connected to laptops to make position-time graphs.
7. Mathematical physics: students experimentally determine the center of mass of several objects.
8. Secrets of sound revealed: the physics of waves and music
9. Astronomy: getting to know galaxies through the Hubble Deep Field
