Copy this document into a word processor or text editor. 

You have completed the first series of collaborative labs.

In that series you developed some important skills with teamwork, collaboration and communication.  By now you have also developed additional lab techniques and insights, as well as an expanded understanding of physics and the standard formulations of motion, energy, momentum, forces and other topics.

You now have a good idea of the function of each member of the team, the designer, the experimenter, the analyzer and the interpreter.

You are also familiar with the items in your lab materials package.

The second series of activities will be spread out over the remainder of the semester.  The investigations in this series will be more substantial and extensive than those of the first series, though we will limit the scope to keep the workload reasonable.

Please give a brief statement of three proposals for the second series of investigations, relevant to the topics of the labs you have performed and/or the material covered so far in the course.  It should be possible to conduct your proposed investigations using the materials in the lab package, and/or common items you can expect your team members to have.
