Learning Outcomes

  • demonstrate proficiency in the tools needed to perform these experiments.
  • explain the relevant physics underlying these experiments, as well as the physics underlying the tools needed to perform these experiments in a succinct way.
  • describe how experimental uncertainty propagates from independent measurements to extrapolated quantities.
  • plot experimental data w/ error bars.
  • analyze data, fit trend lines and form a logical argument built on data and analysis.
  • condense and present technical information so as to communicate to advanced and lay audiences.
