Experiments
The experiments are done using either the CD's (for Video Experiments) or the
Lab Kit.
- The locations of the video clips for the Video Experiments can be found on the CD
Contents page if this information is missing from the Assignments page.
- Directions for the specific experiments are found by clicking on the Experiments
button on the Main Page.
- For purposes of efficiency--mainly to save students time, but also to allow
students to become familiar with the nature of experimentation, the first half of the
course will use mainly video experiments, which take less time since setup is not
necessary.
- Lab kits will be used for experiments in the second half of the course.
Most of the experiments will be submitted using the questionnaire program.
However, a few experiments will be submitted in free form, with the requirement
that they communicate everything the general reader needs to understand the experiment and
evaluate the analysis and conclusions drawn by the writer.
- In all cases, documentation and communications standards must be followed.
