Physics Experiment and Measurements

Mr. Gustin, an AP Physics 1 teacher, conducts an unboxing of a supply bag from Stevenson. He explores various items, including a paper plate, plastic spoons, a ruler, marbles, and rubber bands. He measures the mass of the marbles and conducts an experiment to determine the spring constant of the rubber bands, providing detailed measurements and encouraging students to engage with the materials for semester one physics.
