PURPOSE: This document provides detailed information regarding the Physics 213laboratory course. This laboratory will provide an experimental environment wherestudent research teams will be given the opportunity to explore the theory, concepts andphysical phenomena covered in Physics 213 lecture and recitation, in a hands on, smallgroup environment.2. OBJECTIVES:a. Develop an understanding of selected physical phenomena explored in alaboratory setting. b. Develop an understanding of precision and accuracy in experimental work andhow uncertainties in measurement effect the uncertainties in experimentalresults.(error propagation)c. Enhance your capabilities in creating and analyzing graphical information.d. Exercise and enhance technical writing skills.e. Exercise and enhance leadership and management skills using a small researchteam model.3. SCOPE:a. The lab exercises, in general, follow a path similar to that used in physics 213.b. Subjects may be introduced in lab that are not covered in Physics 213. Studentsshould always be prepared by carefully reviewing the subject matter beforeentering the lab. 4. MISSION: The PHY 213 Instructional team will ensure that every student is given theopportunity to master the course objectives and achieve their full potential while seekingto improve the course pedagogy to better meet the needs of all students, both present andfuture. 5. EXECUTION:a. The Instructional team is composed of the following members, each with specificduties and responsibilities with respect to the conduct of the laboratory.i. Instructional Lab Specialist(1) Provide long term vision for Instructional Lab Program.(2) Provide and coordinate resources including budget, space,personnel and dollars.PHY 213 Lab Syllabus Spring 2006 Page 2 (3) Train and supervise teaching assistants(4) Supervise and coordinate weekly meetings/seminars.(5) Supervise lab grading practices.(6) Mediate student to TA and student to student disputes.(7) Develop and publish lab manuals and materials(8) Develop new experiments and test new equipmentii. Senior Lab Teaching Assistant:(1) Setup and test all lab equipment for each lab(2) Coordinate equipment needs for make up labs(3) Provide weekly summaries of equipment use and trouble shooting.iii. Lab Teaching assistants:(1) Provide a brief introduction to each Lab.(2) Serve as an advisor to the student research teams in each section.(3) Emphasize connectivity with lecture topics(4) Grade all written work IAW weekly Lab seminars/ meetings andthis Syllabus.(5) Assist in the development of new Labs.(6) Provide input to the Lectures regarding Lab questions on exams(7) Provide feedback on course development issues.(8) Mediate intra team disputes(9) Maintain a daily journal of lab activities ( experimental note book)iv. Students:(1) Prepare for Pre Labs and quizzes individually.(2) Be familiar with your assigned role and associated duties.(Principle Investigator, Researcher, and Skeptic.) These role willrotate each week.(3) Fully participate in each lab and the report development process.(4) The responsibility for learning is yours alone.(5) Use the combined power of your research group efficiently.b. Other means of Assistance i. TA , Lecturer, Office Hours and appointmentsii. Email and Phone conversations. iii. Physics Resource Roomiv. Private Tutors,( Ask at the Main office (CP 177) see Joanna. Plan aheadthey book early.)6. ADMINISTRATION AND LOGISTICS:a. Lab Manual, “Physics 213 Laboratory Manual for General Physics, Spring 2006",Ellis. Available at Johnny Print . 19 Jan 2005 Each Student must have their owncurrent copy.b. TI , 84, or 83+ Calculator is required , TI 85/86 or 92 will work with TI SonicRanger but not all experiments under development. Each team must have at leastPHY 213 Lab Syllabus Spring 2006 Page 3 one of the required series calculators. The TI 84 + Silver is the best all aroundchoice, and is highly recommended. Each student must have their own calculatorc. Lab Computers: Each Lab is equipped with 8 Laptop and two to four desk topcomputers.i. All laptops are networked and have MS Office Suite XP installed.ii. Programs and data can be transferred to and from your TI Graphingcalculator, using the TI Graph link cable provided.iii. When not in use by you these computers are analyzing data collected byseveral radio telescopes as part of a distributed processing program(SETI).iv. Modifying these systems in any way is forbidden and could result in lossof credit for the current lab, for your lab group.v. You are encourage to begin writing your report, when appropriate, duringyour Lab time and then emailing your work to another location for furtheraction.vi. Leave the Lab computers open, on and facing the lab entrance when youdepart the lab.vii. Use caution when moving the computer around on the bench top and donot leave them under a the water faucet on benches so equipt.viii. Your Educue transmitter is required in lab for your Quizzes. If you do nothave your own your TA will provide one for use in lab. The PI mustensure that all borrowed devices are returned to the storage rack beforeleaving the lab.ix. Your transmitter is required in lab for your Quizzes. If your lecturer didnot require the purchase of a Transmitter, your TA will provide one for usein lab. The PI must ensure that all borrowed devices are returned to thestorage rack before leaving the lab.d.
