This is a set of six introductory experiments on the Law of Inertia, developed for use in high school science classrooms. Each experiment focuses on practical applications of Newton's First Law, and is supplemented with full instructional guidelines, drawings/photos, and tips for teachers. Especially noteworthy are the links to lab safety guidelines written specifically for each lab experiment. Background information accompanies each experiment, as well.
This resource is part of a much larger collection of physics/astronomy experiments, sponsored by the UK's Institute of Physics and funded by the Nuffield Curriculum Centre. SEE RELATED ITEMS BELOW for a link to the full collection.
