Learning Outcomes
1.Students express the purpose of experimenting in the laboratory
2.Students establish the link between theoretical concepts and practical applications
3.Students gain the ability to conduct experiments in the laboratory
4.Students say and measure the properties of gravitational acceleration and gravitational force.
5.Students measure the spring constant of spring pendulums and tell the properties of spring force.
6.Students show that uniform circular motion is accelerated motion and explain the properties of centripetal force.
7.Students tell the characteristics of the force between two objects hitting each other and what impulse is, and explain why momentum is conserved.
