Note: the very last day to hand in a lab report is Thursday, May 7.

 

The goal is to develop good laboratory technique, which yields accurate and precise results quickly. Lab handouts will be provided for you.

 

Grading: 100% lab results (7 experiments); grade primarily based on accuracy & precision, as well as significant figure mistakes and calculation errors. An example of the grading scale is given in the laboratory handouts. The late penalty is 10% per weekday.

 

Three "good" trials are required for each result.  If a result is rejected and a calculation error cannot be found, the experiment must be repeated.  Once all seven experiments are completed, you may go back and repeat an earlier lab to better your grade.
