Phet Forces and Motion Basics Computer Lab

Description

This lab works well on both iPads and PCs. These Phet lab worksheets work in conjunction with the Phet computer simulations developed by the University of Colorado. The website is https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/forces-and-motion-basics.
This lab is designed for middle and high school science classes. It is specifically designed for physics, but the concepts also apply to physical science and general science. It should take roughly 50 minutes or so to complete, depending on how well students stay on-task and focused. This is designed as a self-directed lab, with easy to follow instructions and plenty of pictures to help guide young minds. The lab is 5 pages long with a good mix of 28 higher-order thinking and more fundamental questions.
