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.
 
Observation and Exploration:
The purpose of an observation lab is to discover the concepts of physics through guided exploration. Students are given the opportunity to explore concepts and observable phenomena beyond the more restricted approach required in the standard lab. These labs typically do not require mathematical calculations: observation techniques are emphasized.
 
Student Designed Experiment:
The purpose of the design your own lab is to 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 will always be made available, the student's procedural activities will be primarily restricted only by lab safety issues.
