Lab sessions are held in 4320 Chamberlin. The laboratory portion of Physics 103 will consist of eleven 2-hour laboratories, each involving a series of activities, including (i) setting up simple experiments to investigate topics you've studied in class, (ii) making predictions about the outcome of your experiments, (iii) performing measurements of different phenomena you've studied in lecture, (iv) analyzing your experimental results, and (v) answering questions concerning your results and predictions.

If you miss a lab and do not make it up, you will have 10% deducted from your lab grade; 2 labs, 20%, and so forth. To be entitled to a makeup, your absence must be excused (see below, under Absences and Excused Grades).

The labs are composed of one or more problems per lab. There are pre-lab questions (Prediction and Method Questions) for each problem in each lab. See your lab manual for details. There may be lab quizzes, and your lab notebook will count for at least 25% of your lab grade. Ask your TA for details. Feedback is welcome. Please speak to your TA.
