Lab sessions are held in 3320 Chamberlin. The laboratory portion of Physics 104 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 the Syllabus page).
