Announcements

Beginning with Week 5, Projectile Motion, lab reports will be turned in on WebAssign rather than e-mail. There will be a problem set with one question allowing you to upload a file to be graded.

Welcome to Dr. Yost's sections of Physics 253, Physics Laboratory for College Physics I! In this laboratory, we will conduct a sequence of laboratory experiments to illustrate the mechanics concepts covered in College Physics I and introduce you to basic methods of data analysis used in physics. You will also get practice in the exposition of physical results, building your skills in scientific writing. You will learn what it means to compare a measurement to expectations and to make meaningful statements about the errors and precision of a measurement.

Please read the department-wide policy statements on missed laboratories and late reports and on plagiarism.
