kinematics lab
This lab vividly illustrates the difference between distance/displacement and velocity/speed for beginning physics students. We use very economical and rudimentary equipment available to schools on a budget. The distance can be paced out for a rough approximation if no tiles are available. The travel time can be measured with a stop watch or a smart phone.
