The AP curriculum is rigorous in its expectations of students and requires instructors to provide high-level laboratory learning experiences. As our school already has some Vernier equipment, the two Mini-interfaces will allow our full class of students to perform labs at the same time. The dual-force sensors will be utilized in a variety of experiments throughout the year, including the study of collisions, friction, and simple harmonic motion. My students will use these instruments to bring our laboratory offerings up to AP standards and provide a richer learning experience for students. They have enjoyed their opportunities to work with the lab equipment that we currently possess and eagerly await the enriching activities that would be made possible with these tools and instruments.
