Although the advent and popularization of the “flipped classroom” tends to center around at-home video lectures, teachers are increasingly turning to at-home labs for enhanced student engagement. This paper describes two simple at-home experiments that can be accomplished in the kitchen. The first experiment analyzes the density of four liquids using a waterproof case and a smartphone barometer in a container, sink, or tub. The second experiment determines the relationship between pressure and temperature of an ideal gas in a constant volume container placed momentarily in a refrigerator freezer. These experiences provide a ripe opportunity both for learning fundamental physics concepts as well as to investigate a variety of error analysis techniques that are frequently overlooked in introductory physics courses.

Note: Here we plot pressure on the vertical axis and depth on the horizontal axis, despite the fact that the pressure (four significant figures) is more precisely determined than the depth (two significant figures), and thus the assumptions of traditional linear regression would indicate that we should reverse the axes under these circumstances – see, for example, Chapter 5 of

,

(

). In our view, the simpler interpretation of the slope as equal to the density times the gravitational constant (as opposed to the reciprocal relation in the reversed axes case) is better pedagogically for students of introductory physics.
