Be sure to anticipate how much data is necessary to answer your question. It is expected that these will be professional, clearly organized explanations of your experiment and results. The project report is to be handed in at the last lab meeting, and is to follow the format of a formal lab report. Details are included in a separate handout. In addition to independent project work, some lab time will be used to carry out more traditional lab experiments called capsules .
Capsules are self-contained experiments that demonstrate principles developed in class.
These experiments will be completed during a single lab session, and the lab-report submitted during lab the following week. Details on the format of the lab-report are in a separate handout. The following are some possible topics around which Case Studies might be built. This report is described in detail in a separate handout. These will be chosen to illustrate an important aspect of physics in your project.
