The Ramp Forces on Inclined Planes PhET Simulation ; EDITABLE, *Key Included*
Please note that as of summer 2023 this simulation is JAVA and must be run inside the CheerpJ emulator on the PhET website.In this PhET simulation students will observe force down-the-plane (parallel force), normal force, and friction force as they relate to the applied force and angle of inclined plane. Is there an angle at which the parallel force exactly equals the friction force up the plane? This makes an excellent introduction activity before doing a practical inquiry investigation into

Measuring Coefficient of Friction Lab Simply by Sliding Things Down Boards
One can measure the coefficient of friction of two surfaces just by measuring the angle that the object slides down the board. All that is required is a meter stick and a board, no scale, no stopwatch needed. It is part of a book coming out in June 2017 called "Zero Budget Labs" by Scorton Creek.

Work and power LAB
This simple lab allows the students to practice on the concept of work and power using their own body. Students will calculate the work done when lifting a 500g metal cylinder several times. Students will collect and graph data and determine the power of their hand by determining the slope of the line in the Work vs. time graph.Students then will use the information from the data and the graph to calculate the number of repetitions needed to use the energy equivalent to a hot dog.
