A transferable course for professionals. Co-req PHY 10
 
 


A total of 14 labs. These experiments are designed so that you can gain experience in scientific method, data analysis and conclusion. You are expected to read the write-ups and be prepared for the lab. Please turn in your write-ups at the end of each session. The labs closely follow the material in Hewitt’s Conceptual Physics book.

In many of these labs you are required to match your predicted values with the experimental values. You will also gain some appreciation about error analysis.

Please take your time in doing these labs. These labs will teach you methodologies that you will be able to apply in many aspects of your professional and personal life. Enjoy your Friday mornings!
