Lesson- Infinite Potential Well
Student create a numerical model which integrates Schrodinger's equation in 1 dimension. They discuss the properties of the solutions which match the boundary conditions. Student discusss any limitations if there are any in there model.
Curated OER
A Mysterious Roll-Back Can
Middle schoolers explore Newton and his Second Law by observing a demonstration involving a can that rolls away, then rolls back to where it started. They construct their own Come Back Can and describe how the cans work.
Curated OER
Kepler's Second Law
Students explore orbital velocities and how they vary along each orbit, according to Kepler's Second Law.
Curated OER
Simple Harmonic Motion
Students study harmonic motion and its oscillation. In this simple harmonic motion lesson students demonstrate a series of regular oscillations and explain the theory behind the experiment.
Curated OER
Simple Harmonic Motion
Students explain the theory of simple harmonic motion (SHM) by performing hands-on, practical application experiments.
