General Physics II - Labs

The following educational physics experiments were designed for students to complete at home using a simple lab kit as part of the Andrews University distance learning college general physics course. The course and lab kit have since been discontinued, but we are releasing the instructions and videos as a free resource for students and educators to enhance their physics education toolbox.

We no longer offer the lab kit for sale, but the tools and materials are readily available from local and online retailers. Instructions relating to the software used may be outdated, but the experiments and methodology can be adapted easily enough. You may print and make copies as necessary for your class, but please do re-post the materials. If you wish to share this resource, we respectfully ask that you share the link to this page and its resources. Thank you!
