KETs Virtual Physics Labs offer you the opportunity to deepen your students understanding of physical principles through

innovative and interactive online learning experiences. Created for use in KETs AP Physics B course, they are now used in our Honors Physics course. This resource includes 16 pieces of virtual apparatus, 15 of which are listed on page 2. A screen shot of the newest labthe pendulumis shown below. KETs virtual apparatus is designed to simulate real lab apparatus and in most cases to extend it. And all the apparatus is available 365/24/7 on the KET Distance Learning website so you and your students can use the labs for activities outside of normal class time. KETVirtualPhysicsLabsallowyouto: Enhance your lab offerings and fill in the blanks in your equipment list. Create pre-lab activities to prepare students for live or virtual labs. Reduce the hassle of providing make-up labs. Create concept development activities that engage your students and give them more control over learning. Use the labs with a projection system for classroom demonstrations. Whatdoyouget? Full access to all the labs for all your students 365/24/7. Our complete AP Physics B lab manual in editable Microsoft Word format. Some Honors-level lab documents are also available. Howdoyougetit? The labs are located at virtuallabs.ket.org/physics. (The /physics part will go away in mid-2012.) For a free 60-day trial for teachers or to sign up your school and students now, follow the instructions on the website. ThePendulum Howmuchdoesitcost? For Kentucky K-12 schools, the yearly subscription fee is $50 per school. For non-Kentucky K-12 schools, the yearly subscription fee is $50 per school plus $1 per student. College pricing is $100 per department plus $5 per student if paid in lump sum or $10/student if students pay individually by credit card.
