During the last days of physics you and your group will be responsible for a culminating project. There are three types of projects you may choose from. There are different requirements for each type because of the relative difficulties of each.
Lab Projects: In these projects you will be responsible for designing an experiment to investigate different topics. You will carry out the experiment, write a lab report and deliver a presentation to the class. The lab report will include: purpose, review of literature, data, graphs and conclusion. You may be required to use TI data taking equipment such as microphones, photogates or multimeters. Most will be done at CCHS, but a few may require alternative environments ex. 5,6
1. Compare waveforms of two musical instruments. Select different musical instruments and analyze their wavefunctions using TI graphing software.
2. Investigate sound intensity as a function of distance.
3. Wave forms of singing
4. Find the variables involved in how a ball rolls down a ramp
5. Physics of pool- verify conservation of momentum in two dimensions: Videotape various pool shots directly above the table and then perform momentum calculations in each dimension. Also devise a way to use frame by frame footage to find the velocity of the different pool balls.
6. How do the properties of golf balls determine the range?
7. Properties of materials-copper vs other metals
8. Stress analysis for different thicknesses of materials: wood spaghetti etc
9. Pyramid strength: build pyramids of different sizes or materials and determine their crushing strength. Research should include information on pyramids, structural design and materials science.
10. How does the force applied determine the acceleration of an object?
11. How does mass affect the motion of a fan cart/RC car?
12. How does sound travel in a vacuum?
13. How does mass affect the period of an oscillating spring? Place a mass on the end of a spring and measure the period for different masses. Then you should do a graph of your data and predict the equation.
14. How does string length in a guitar affect the pitch? Measure the frequency of a guitar string by changing the length by fretting the string. Complete a graph of frequency vs length for different strings.
15. How does the spin of a baseball affect its pendulum period/velocity. Devise a way to vary the spin on a swinging baseball. How does the period relate to velocity? Graph velocity vs ball rotational speed.
16. Which superball is the best?
17. How does temperature affect the output of a solar cell?
18. Make a human battery and find which metals will give the most current
19. What factors affect the strength of an electromagnet?
Building and design projects: The building and design project requires you and your group to build a project and then do a presentation for the class. You will also be responsible for a paper that outlines the physics behind your project. You will be responsible for doing research on your own outside your physics book to accurately model your project.
20. Build an electric motor
21. Build a bridge using only manilla folders. Then test the bridge for maximum capacity and efficiency. Then include bridge-modeling software in your presentation.
22. Art physics (collage, painting or mobile) + color and light research paper

29. Make a solar powered hot dog cooker
Research Papers: You will be required to do research inside and outside of class on current trends in physics. You are required to use a mixture of internet and library resources, include a works cited and properly cite all sources. The required length is 15 pages double spaced (as there are 4-5 members in your group).
30. Research paper on current trends in atomic physics
31. Neutrino paper
32. Special relativity
33. Physics of medicine
You will have every day in class to work on these projects. I will also be awarding daily points on behavior and performance in class-time. You are expected to set a schedule and follow it.
Rough project schedule:
Monday: May 5- Select your favorite three projects and submit to me. I will then roll a dice to choose who gets first dibs on their top projects. I will do my best to accommodate everybody’s request. I am doing this so that we do not have each group doing the same project. I would like some variety in the presentations.
Tuesday: May6-Submit a project proposal that outlines your project, detailing preliminary thoughts on execution and a project timeline, as it may vary from group to group.
Wednesday: May 7- Start the procedure on your project. You may have to work some at home on it as well. Remember, in place of your homework in physics, you will have project work to do.
Monday May 12: You should be in the writeup phase of the project. Lab groups should have their data, project groups should be finished building and doing their testing, and paper groups should be compiling group members information into a coherent complete paper.
Thursday: May 15, 16: Project presentation days. Plan to speak for 15 minutes
