The Real Simple Motor
Students will use a simple Homopolar Motor to show how moving charges (an electric current) experience a force when they move through a magnetic field.

Spark Timer Motion
Students will use a spark timer to record the motion of two toy cars.

Measuring Constant Velocity
Students will graph the position vs. time of a moving car. The graph will be a straight line whose slope is the car's velocity.

Analyzing Motion
Students will use Constant Velocity Cars and track position vs time results to grasp what constant velocity motion is.
