Description
The Essential Physics Teacher Lab Manual Resources are all of the electronic teacher resources for the 46 lab activities found in the printed Essential Physics Student Lab Manual (the printed student lab manual is sold separately). These teacher resources are only available electronically and include the following:
- Editable Word version of each student lab
- Complete lesson slide sets in PPTX format for displaying during the lab, and pre-lab
- Teacher answer keys for each lab investigation in editable Word format
- Links to videos that help guide you through the data collection, and data analysis steps
Available separately:
- Essential Physics Student Lab Manual (EP-6326) – this printed, student-consumable lab manual includes 46 labs that cover a full year of introductory physics.
- Essential Physics Teacher Lab Manual (EP-6329) – printed set of teacher answer keys for all 46 labs inside the Essential Physics Student Lab Manual. Also includes editable electronic copies of all 46 students lab handouts, and teacher answer keys.
Video Support
How-to videos for some lab activities are included with the teacher resources. These videos focus on proper set up of lab equipment, helpful tips for collecting good data, and strategies for analyzing that data.
Experiments
There are 46 labs and activities covering a full year of physics topics:
