Discovering Physics Laboratory Physics is an experimental science. This means that we don't guess about the way that nature behaves, rather we carefully craft theories which are meant to predict what will happen in very specific circumstances.
Physics can predict the future with enough knowledge about the present.
It is the role of the laboratory and experiments to test this ability to predict. It is important that this book is bound to keep all of your notes together and that it has little squares on each page to aid in graph making. All laboratory work and reports are to be written in this journal. 1 small ruler. This is important and used to make straight lines in graphs and will not be used for measurements in the the lab.
