IMPORTANT NOTES
There are only approximately 40 lab kits per experiment, so about 75 students will be performing the two lab experiments at one time. Students are divided in groups A and B. Group A will perform the lab experiment first, followed by group B. You will have about one week to perform the lab experiment and collect necessary data after you receive your equipment.
Please check your assignment group to see when you pick up and return your lab kit.
If you have questions about the lab experiments or want to pick up or turn in equipment early, please see the TA in charge during their office hours or by appointment.
YOU MUST RETURN YOUR LAB EQUIPMENT ON TIME TO RECEIVE SUPPLEMENTARY SHEETS WHICH EXPLAIN HOW TO PERFORM THE NECESSARY CALCULATIONS AND WRITE UP YOUR RESULTS.
UNRETURNED EQUIPMENT RESULTS IN A ZERO FOR THE LAB ASSIGNMENT.
