Students test whether air resistance affects a tossed object's acceleration, using iterative experiment design, uncertainty analysis, and scientific integrity practices over two lab sessions.

Getting beyond human error, confronting expectations that experiments will confirm known principles.

Students iteratively refine pendulum period measurements across three weeks, learning to quantify, reduce, and compare uncertainty while practicing collaborative, evidence-based experimental reasoning.

Students learn about quantitatively comparing uncertain measurements through simple Colab programming.

Students design and refine oscillation experiments with plucked rulers, centering scientific integrity, bias mitigation, statistical comparison, and peer presentation of findings.
