Acceleration Lab: Force, Mass & Acceleration

Phantastic Physics Verified independent store

→

Students use a Vernier cart and track to discover the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration — building real understanding of F=ma through hands-on data collection. Stu dents collect motion data by varying force and mass, analyze position, velocity, and acceleration graphs, and connect the results to Newton's 2nd Law. This is a data-driven, discovery-based lab where students figure out F=ma from their own experiments. What's Included: • Student lab worksheet with data tables and analysis questions • Step-by-step lab instructions • Complete teacher notes with setup guide and pacing • Answer key with sample data and explanations • Print-ready digital resource + editable Word formats Designed for Conceptual Physics, Regular Physics, and Physical Science (Grades 9-12). NGSS-aligned. Works with standard Vernier cart and track equipment. 50-75 minutes of classroom time. Buying several labs? This activity is included in the 22 Physics Labs Bundle and the MEGA curriculum bundle. Check what you own before buying it separately. Show more
