Practical Density of regular solids [ cuboids, cylinders] Identification of materials using density. Density of liquids and irregular solids.

Weighing a rule by balancing a loaded rule. Acceleration of a trolly on a ramp [ lots of variants here] Determining of g by simple pendulum Investigation of a compound pendulum or a pin and pendulum I-V characteristics of diodes, lamps etc. Identification of the material of a wire by determining its resistivity Variations of resistance with temperature of a metal wire [ copper is good ] and / or thermister Determination of resistance of a voltmeter by use of a series resistor Investigation of currents in a series and parallel circuits Determination of internal resistance of a power supply Sonometer variation of frequency with length determination of the speed of transverse waves on the metal wire Measurements of the wavelength of microwaves by standing waves Measurement of the wavelength of microwaves by Double slit (or Lloyds mirror) Measurements of wavelength of a laser by Youngs slits Measurements of wavelength of a laser pointer using a diffraction grating Measurements of refractive index of glass or water by real and apparent depth Measure refractive index of semicircular glass block using ray box [ or pins] Measurements of the speed of sound in air using a double beam CRO and two microphones

Context Use of metre rule, calipers, micrometer, balance. Initial work on uncertainities. Use of measuring cylinders. Use of P of M Use of equations of motion graphs to determine acceleration. N.B Not on spec but a useful intro to oscillation period measurements Ditto Use of ammeters, voltmeters, variable resistors, potentiometers Various ways single measurements / R against l. uncertainity combinations Thermistor not on spec but it doesnt matter here. Could tie in with potential dividers to design a temperature sensor.

Direct use of V=E Ir or use of 1/V=1/E + r/ER use of reciprocals in graphical work Use of reciprocals in graphical work
