6. Dynamic carts improperly stored
Disassemble and disconnect the cart from motion sensor, pulley wheels, and photo gates

7. Dynamic cart accessories

8. Dynamic cart accessories
Place the disassembled accessories into the proper plastic boxes

9. Dynamic cart accessories

10. Photo gate storage
Disassemble photo gates from accessories and put them into the plastic boxes

11. Acceleration sensor storage
Place all parts of the acceleration sensor back into the proper bag, twist tie the cord
BE CAREFUL WITH THE SMALL SCREWS!

12. Acceleration sensor storage

13. Acceleration sensor storage
Place the bag with the acceleration sensor back into the plastic box

14. PUT THE PLASTIC BOXES BACK ON THE PROPER SHELVES

15. Handling multi-meters
Gently turn the selector switch one click at a time
DO NOT TURN TOO QUICKLY!

16. Handling multi-meters
When you have finished the experiment, be sure that the multi-meter is turned off

17. Handling multi-meters
Match up the black cord and red cord for your multi-meter, then wrap them around the multi-meter

18. Handling multi-meters
The multi-meters are properly stored and ready for the next lab.

19. Banana plug wires
Match up the banana plug wires and twist tie them together

20. Banana plug wires
After the wires are matched up and twist tied together, place them in the plastic box.

21. Force table experiment
Do not over tighten the clamps. They should be finger tight only.

22. Force table experiment
When finished with force tables, tape the mass hangers in place on the top of the table.

23. Using clamps
When using clamps to secure objects to the lab tables, do not over tighten. All clamps should be finger tight only to avoid damaging the lab tables.

24. Safety issues
When unplugging electrical equipment, pull with the plug – not with the cord.

25. Safety issues Handle dynamic cart tracks with care.
Support the weight in the center for balance.
When turning, hold the track vertically to avoid hitting someone.
