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

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

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 explore electrostatic charging hands-on, distinguish observation from inference, propose multiple charge arrangements, and design tests to evaluate competing explanations.

This is a lab notebook with instructions and starter code for a two week lab on Hooke's Law and stretchy objects in general.

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.

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

A two-session lab where students explore induction by dropping magnets through a coil.
