Your 'collaborative labs' report has been received. Scroll down through the document to see any comments I might have inserted, and my final comment at the end.

** **
You will participate during the semester in two series of collaborative lab activities.
The first is designed to be relatively painless, and to begin to develop a degree of teamwork and collaboration.
These activities are designed for teams of four individuals, each with a specific function:
The designer will come up with the idea for the activity and will specify for other team members how the activity is to be conducted.
The experimenter will follow the designer's instructions to set up the experiment and collect data.
The analyzer will analyze the data.
The interpreter will describe what the results mean.
For each series of activities, you will participate in four different investigations, one as designer, another as experimenter, another as analyzer and another as interpreter.
As each investigation progresses, you will follow the work of your fellow team members.
Please summarize the above, as best you can, in your own words:
****
It is a group project 1 job for each person desighner designs experiment experimenter does experiment analyzer analyzes data
interpreter interprets the results

The first series of activities will be spread out over the first half of the semester, the second series over the second half of the semester.
The first series will be based on systems you have seen in the Key Systems videos.
You will begin by describing at least three ideas for investigations related to the Key Systems videos. Valid ideas will ultimately be developed proposals, each of which will describe a question that could be investigated and tested using simple materials such as those seen in the videos. You will eventually develop three proposals, one of which will be chosen for an investigation. You will be the designer for that investigation.
At this point we're just beginning to explore ideas for the first series of investigations. Your instructor will work with you to further develop your ideas, and perhaps to explore other related possibilities.
Right now you don't have a wide variety of experimental techniques available to you, so this first series of investigations will be relatively simple.
List below three ideas for things you think might be fairly easy to test, based on the systems you have seen so far.
****
How to get the pendulum hitting the wall and the washer hitting the ground is relative to the distance between them to the ground and how far out you hold the pendulum
The marble hitting the table after going off the incline you could measure how much the incline affects final velocity
A measure of how the length of the string of a pendulum affects the total number of oscillations before the pendulum stops

@&
Very good ideas.
*@
Discuss your first idea. How do you think it might be tested? What sort of items do you think might be required? How do you think your idea might be tested?
****
Trial and error with measurements of the distances between the pendulum to the wall and the ground
Two washers a string and a measuring device
Isn't that was was asked first im not sure what to say
#$&*
Discuss your second idea. How do you think it might be tested? What sort of items do you think might be required? How do you think your idea might be tested?
****
Measuring the time it takes for each different angle of incline used
Marble (or just some ball) board object to create incline
Still asked just above
#$&*
Discuss your third idea. How do you think it might be tested? What sort of items do you think might be required? How do you think your idea might be tested?
****
By actually using the pendulum and counting the oscillations at various pendulum lengths
A washer and a string and a measuring device
Still as said before its asked above

Good ideas. We will be following up very soon.
