I am looking for a lab manual or activity guide that is easy to follow and that activities can be made with common materials. This is for eleven and tenth grade physics.

Hi Tamara,
I noticed in the NSTA science store that there is an e-text lab manual:
Take-Home Physics: 65 High-Impact, Low-Cost Labs (e-Book)
It sounds like what you are looking for. The book is also broken up into several book chapters that are available in the Learning Center. One example is:
Pressure
There are also several excellent journal articles in The Science Teacher that provide one or two labs per article. I picked out one you might be interested in:
A virtual Circuits Lab. This article highlights the great PhET website.

Hi Carolyn, The Phet website is a wonderful resource, thanks for sharing. I also looked into the Pressure chapter of the physics lab book you mentioned. It presents a great idea for a pressure lab, but could be better if updated to reflect the metric system used increasingly in U.S. schools and in the rest of the world.
