Programmed XRP robots for the traditional tumble buggy lab practical. Students spent a day measuring positions and times for different “efforts” in the code. You can see their predictions marked on the meter stick for the collision point. #ITeachPhysics

Simple #ITeachPhysics fluids lab quiz
Give students 1 bolt, 1 nut, 1 plastic cup with line drawn to a certain level and a small graduated cylinder of an unknown liquid (canola oil). Can use water, balance, ruler, and graduated cylinder.
How many passengers (nuts and bolts) to sink it to the line?
