Student
Designed Experiment
-
The purpose of the
student designed lab is
to introduce and promote the process of science research. Students are given the
opportunity to design their own labs and create
individualized data collection activities based on the topic
assigned. Although
experiment guidelines are made available, the student's
activities are primarily restricted only by lab
safety issues and available lab equipment.

Standard Lab
-
The
purpose
of the standard lab is to build basic laboratory skills, emphasize
the process of science, reinforce the concepts of physics, and
promote enthusiasm for science through meaningful lab activities.
Formal lab report write-up
techniques are taught and
emphasized.

Exploration and Inquiry
-
The purpose of an
exploration and inquiry lab is to
discover the concepts of physics through student designed exploration.
Students are given the opportunity to explore concepts and
observable phenomena beyond the more structured approach utilized in
the standard lab. These labs typically do not require mathematical
calculations. Learning by inquiry is emphasized including techniques
for journaling observations.
