ABSTRACT
The developed Arduino-based laboratory experiments is

an attempt to suggest a supplementary laboratory
experiments for teaching and learning Physics. The laboratory
experiments were designed to augment the deficiency or
absence of Physics laboratories and/or tools and equipment.
Using the computers, Arduino boards, and electronics

components, students can perform at least twenty (20)
physics experiments, specifically on circuit, electricity, sound,
and light. Arduino microcontrollers can be converted as data
acquisition devices, power supply, analyzer, measuring device

and learning materials.

On the other hand, Physics laboratory manuals of the
experiments developed were digitized and brought in
internet space through the use of Google Sites. The name of
the website is AB Physics RLab which stands for Arduino-

Based Physics Remote Laboratory. Using this site, both
teachers and students can view, access, and download the
learning materials through the aid of embedding the Google
Drive and Google Suite in the website.

The developed Physics laboratory experiment

successfully passed the unit, integration, and system and
acceptance testing. 207 evaluators from 5 tertiary institutions
in the Province of Cavite evaluated the project.The project
got an overall mean of 4.63 for the quality of the hardware
used in the project, 4.64 for the internet-based manual and
4.68 for the quality-in-use of the project. The result of the

evaluation showed that in all criteria the project has a
descriptive rating of excellent. Therefore, the project can be
usedas an alternative instructional material in teaching-
learning Physics II for students under computing programs.
