Untitled document
Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:
1. Make measurements using a variety of measuring devices.
2. Construct a graph displaying experimental data using a computer
graphing program, determine the slope of a line, read coordinate
points from a graph, and describe what a graph indicates about the
plotted variables.
3. Set up and perform physics experiments following written or verbal
instructions.
4. Calculate quantities involving experimental data using calculators
and/or spreadsheet calculations.
5. Interpret/discuss the meaning/significance of experimental results.
6. Record a prediction of what will occur in doing an experiment, an
observation of what happens, and a discussion of how the observation
confirms or fails to confirm the prediction.
