Squishy Circuits Electronics Lab Set
Squishy Circuits are a fun way for you to explore electricity by making your own conductive & insulating dough. I wrote this lab for high school students, and you can expand this lab with other electrical kits. You can also make the electronic parts with salvaged motors and battery holders, or buy kits from Squishy Circuits.I found that the 10 mm LED's used for this are fragile, so you can 3D print a LED holder using this package to make the LED's last and be easier to handle!

Conservation of Energy in a Rotating Rotor Lab (AP Level Rotational Motion)
In this investigation on rotational motion students will measure the time of fall of a hook mass that spins a PVC "T" rotor with weighted arms. This is very similar to an often-used lab in physics AP 1, where a falling mass spins a PVC rotor with weights in the arms. Students will use linear and rotational velocity measurements to calculate the center of mass (from moment of inertia) of one of the rotor's arms. I do not use this in first-year physics. This is an AP-level investigation.Materi
