Course Description
Laboratory investigations that include the use of scientific inquiry, research, measurement, problem solving, laboratory apparatus and technologies, experimental procedures, and safety procedures are an integral part of this course. The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) recommends that at the high school level, all students should be in the science lab or field, collecting data every week. School laboratory investigations (labs) are defined by the National Research Council (NRC) as an experience in the laboratory, classroom, or the field that provides students with opportunities to interact directly with natural phenomena or with data collected by others using tools, materials, data collection techniques, and models (NRC, 2006, p. 3). Laboratory investigations in the high school classroom should help all students develop a growing understanding of the complexity and ambiguity of empirical work, as well as the skills to calibrate and troubleshoot equipment used to make observations. Learners should understand measurement error; and have the skills to aggregate, interpret, and present the resulting data (National Research Council, 2006, p.77; NSTA, 2007).

| 3 | Classical Mechanics | This book gives an intuitive understanding of the principles behind classical mechanics. The motivation of writing this book was the belief that most courses hurry through the basic concepts too quickly, and that a more leisurely discussion would be helpful to many students.   Classical mechanics deals with the question of how an object moves when it is subjected to various forces, and also with the question of what forces act on an object which is not moving. The practical importance of the subject hardly requires demonstration in a world which contains automobiles, buildings, airplanes, bridges, and ballistic missiles.   Anyone who studies mechanics will find the experience of reading this book a true intellectual adventure and will acquire a permanent respect for the subtleties involved in applying “simple” concepts to the analysis of “simple” systems. | -- | Free | View in iTunes |
| 4 | Thermochemistry | Thermochemistry helps in evaluation of enthalpy or heat release/absorption of a system undergoing numerous temperature changes and phase transitions. The calculations take advantage of known values of heat capacity at constant pressure (Cp) and molar or per gram enthalpy of phase transition. Amount of compound can be defined in grams or moles, in a way that Cp and enthalpy units would match. App provides enthalpy values for each step. Negative enthalpy points to exothermic process – heat release, while positive one to endothermic - heat absorption. °C and K are interchangeable. Calorimetry section provides means for evaluation of the heat capacity of calorimeter and for finding equilibrium temperature of mixed system. Forward arrow button sets the final temperature of the mixture. Backward arrow button sets missing temperature or heat capacity of one of the components. Enthalpy values show heat flow for each component. Example of problems solved by application (screenshots): Problem 1: Calculate the amount of energy required to change 100.0 g of ice at -15.0 °C to steam at 125.0 °C. Known values: Heat of melting = 334.16 J g¯1 Heat of vaporization = 2259 J g¯1 specific heat capacity for solid water (ice) = 2.06 J g¯1 K¯1 specific heat capacity for liquid water = 4.184 J g¯1 K¯1 specific heat capacity for gaseous water (steam) = 2.02 J g¯1K¯1 Solution: 1) Heating of 100.0 g of ice from -15.0°C to 0.0°C: (100.0 g) (15.0 K) (2.06 J g¯1 K¯1) = 3090 J 2) Melting of 100.0 g of ice: (100.0 g) (334.16 J g¯1) = 33416 J 3) Heating of 100.0 g of liquid water from zero to 100.0 Celsius: (100.0 g) (100.0 K) (4.184 J g¯1 K¯1) = 41840 J 4) Evaporations of 100.0 g of liquid: (100.0 g) (2259 J g¯1) = 225900 J 5) Heating of 100.0 g of steam from 100.0 to 125.0 Celsius: (100.0 g) (25.0 K) (2.02 J g¯1 K¯1) = 5050 J 6) Summation of the results: 3090 + 33416 + 41840 + 225900 + 5050 = 309.3 kJ Problem 2: Determine the heat capacity of a coffee-cup calorimeter. During calibration 100.0 g of water at 58.5 °C has been added to 100.0 g of water, already in the calorimeter, at 22.8 °C. Calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter in J/°C, if final temperature of the water is 39.7 °C. (Specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g °C.) Solution: 1) Heat given up by warm water: q = (100.0 g) (18.8 °C) (4.184 J/g °C) = 7865.92 J 2) Heat absorbed by water in the calorimeter: q = (100.0 g) (16.9 °C) (4.184 J/g °C) = 7070.96 J 3) The difference was absorbed by the calorimeter: 7865.92 - 7070.96 = 794.96 J 4) Calorimeter constant: 794.96 J / 16.9 °C = 47.0 J/°C Problem 3: Determine the final temperature when 10.0 g of aluminum at 130.0 °C mixes with 200.0 grams of water at 25.0 °C. Please note the starting temperature of the metal is above the boiling point of water. In reality, the sample may vaporize a tiny amount of water, but we will assume it does not for the purposes of the calculation. Solution: 1) The colder water will warm up and the warmer metal will cool down. The whole mixture will equilibrate up at the same temperature. The energy which "flowed" out of the warmer metal equals the energy which "flowed" into the colder water: Qaluminum = Qwater (10) (130 - x) (0.901) = (200.0 )(x - 25) (4.18) 117.13 - 0.901x = 83.6x - 2090 x = 26.12 °C. Important! Water didn’t cross temperature of phase transition – vaporization; otherwise calculation would be more complex. Calculation of reaction standard Gibbs free energy: For the general reaction aA + bB -> cC + dD ΔG°rxn = cΔGf°(C) + dΔGf°(D) - aΔGf°(A) - bΔGf°(B) Example: Calculate the Gibbs free energy for the following reaction at 25 °C. Cu (s) + H2O (g) -> CuO (s) + H2 (g) ΔG°rxn = ΔGf°(CuO (s)) – ΔGf°(H2O (g)) = (–129.7 kJ/mol) – (–228.6 kJ/mol) = 98.9 kJ/mol ΔGf° = 0; for elements in their standard state by definition. At equilibrium, ΔG = 0! Important points Application uses dot as a decimal separator. Special attention should be paid for units’ consistency. | -- | $1.99 | View in iTunes |

It is also helpful to use a background with uniform color and shading. See our sample videos for examples. • Do not move the camera. Analysis assumes the camera is fixed in position. • The object in motion should remain approximately in a plane perpendicular to the viewing direction. • Place an object with known dimensions, such as a meter stick, in the same plane as the motion. Use this to scale the video. Video Physics is intended for use in science education. The video analysis done in Video Physics provides a useful technique for studying two-dimensional kinematics. You can do even more with Vernier's Graphical Analysis app for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch or with Logger Pro software for Mac OS X and Windows. | -- | $4.99 | View in iTunes |
| 24 | SpeedClock - Video Radar | The iPhone speed radar - easy-to-use speed measurement in your pocket, anytime, anywhere! A unique, advanced app designed to easily measure the speed of cars, boats, skaters, skiers, cyclists, animals, models, footballs, tennis serves, etc. The system is based on motion detection, enabling you to track a moving object using a hand-held device alone. SpeedClock includes three separate speed measurement tools and two distance estimation tools. Speed Radar SpeedClock uses the camera to detect and analyze motion, and a reference distance to calculate the speed of an object. Define the distance to the object of interest, hold the iPhone still and let the object pass across the the screen. The speed is displayed automatically. SpeedClock is also able to automatically measure the speed and save an image of passing objects. The measurement can be initiated from an Apple Watch and the speed displayed on the watch face. High Speed Video Recording An additional speed tool records and processes a video, which enables SpeedClock to track small, fast object, such as flying balls, that can be difficult to catch with regular motion detection. It also calculates additional parameters like acceleration. Synchronized Timing Gates A third speed instrument uses two iPhone/iPads equipped with motion detection to start and stop the timer and measure the speed. The distance between the devices is used as reference, and the speed is calculated based on the time taken by the object to travel between the 'Start' and 'Stop' devices. The time is transmitted wirelessly over WiFi or Bluetooth. Distance Measurement The stadimeter uses the size of a known object, e.g. a car, to calculate the distance. The clinometer uses your own height as reference, along with the angle of the iPhone, to estimate the distance to a point on the ground. The distances obtained from either tool can then be used to calculate the speed.
