Introduction There is a lot more to physics than concepts and equations. This lab course is designed to help you learn how to develop a reliable understanding of the physical world, how to devise and test scientific knowledge claims, and how to communicate scientific ideas with other people. The lab course is based on three main ideas: 1. Making and comparing measurements (labs 1-3 and 10-11) 2. Using graphs to find mathematical relationships (labs 4-6 and 12-13) 3. Building models of complex phenomena (labs 7-9 and 14-17) In this lab course, you will learn essential skills and ideas in Pre-Lab Readings. Each pre-lab reading is followed by a Pre-Lab Quiz, which you must complete before the start of your lab period. During the lab, you will practice those skills while conducting experimental work by following the Instructions. Together with your lab partner(s), you will submit a Lab Report at the end of your lab period. The lab report consists of 2 items that you will need to submit for each lab, such as a paragraph-length answers to questions, descriptions of your experimental procedure, graphs, data, or photos. Every few labs, you will conduct an Investigation. Investigations are more open-ended than labs, giving you a chance to devise your own experimental procedure and demonstrate your new skills. For investigations, your lab report needs to be more comprehensive, typically including a description of your procedure, data, a conclusion, and other elements. During your experimental work, you will be supported by an instructor. Your instructor will deliver a brief introductory lecture at the start of your lab period. So don't be late! At two points during each lab (but not investigations), you will have a conversation with your instructor about your progress. This is called a Checkpoint. In addition, please feel free to ask your instructor for help or advice at any time as you work through this lab course. This lab course was written following best practices (Kozminski et al, 2017) for introductory experimental physics. One part of that is making lab courses accessible (Dounas-Frazer et al, 2021). While this lab course was designed to be as universally accessible as possible, there will still be barriers for some students. For that reason, each lab includes an Accessibility Notes section with advice and resources for students who may require additional layers of accessibility. Since these labs are about experimental physics, you will not need to know any physics concepts in order to complete your lab reports. In a few cases where they are needed, physics concepts are introduced in the pre-lab readings. Thus, the labs will not be aligned with your physics lectures. However, please feel free to use any physics concepts that you think may be relevant, if that helps you complete your lab-work. Your work will be graded using a 5-point rubric. In brief, expect to receive 3 points if your work has major issues, 4 points if your work is mostly correct but has one or two shortcomings (missing units, incorrect formatting, etc), and 5 points if your work is complete and correct.
