Description

When studying measurement and forces, use this complete “Balancing Forces” Physical Science Virtual Lab to investigate: “Can different masses of bricks balance each other if placed at different distances from a pivot point?” This single Google Sheet™ has all the materials to perform a virtual experiment, collect, analyze and evaluate the collected data while presenting findings in a single page format – either digital or on paper.

A video shows the setup and steps of the lab and also a virtual lab based on the PhETInteractive Simulations with step-by-step directions and video help screens.

ㅤㅤㅤOverriding Question and Subject of the Virtual Lab:

"When two piles of bricks are on a pivoting board, can they balance each other when they weigh different amounts?"

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

This Paperless, Step by Step Google Sheet™ is built on the premier Lab Report Generator for Google Docs™ / Google Classroom™. This Virtual Lab has been engineered to guide the students in a step-by-step investigation of the science concept.

The Lab has parts prefilled – limiting errors from students. All materials are contained for performing a lab that explores answers and analyzes the lab in a 12 step plan as outlined below.

This is a Google Doc™. You must make a copy and have Google Docs and YouTube™️ allowed for HELP. ⛔
