Students find the limits—not confirmation—of Hooke's Law for everyday objects, making all experimental decisions and building skills in design, uncertainty analysis, and scientific argumentation.

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.

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 uncertainty in repeated measurements through simple Colab programming.

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

Students build magnetism concepts hands-on, practice scientific integrity through the Millikan case study, and learn to critique and craft research questions for independent investigation.

Students discover circuit principles hands-on: lighting bulbs, building series/parallel circuits, measuring current & voltage, and creating I-V graphs for nonlinear resistors.
