    This document provides instructions for a physics experiment to measure the acceleration due to gravity using a Pasco computer interface and a "picket fence". Students will explain how the equipment works to measure time and calculate speed and acceleration. They will then conduct the experiment, analyze their data, compare their experimental result to the expected result to determine experimental error, and write a conclusion.
