Physics 30 Lab Seminar - Edmonton

Students in the Physics Laboratory 2024-2025 seminar will gain experience in using the scientific method, laboratory skills, and lab write ups pertaining to Physics.

In Physics 30, students will study and conduct experiments regarding: Momentum and Impulse (Conservation of Momentum in two dimensions); Forces and Fields (drawing Electric Force fields using equipotential lines); Optics (using an optical bench to study the properties of light); Atomic Physics (creating and analyzing models to understand the nature of an atom). 

In both Physics 20 and 30, students will be coached and mentored in measurement, graphing, and algebraic reasoning but it is expected that they will already have adequate graphing and algebraic reasoning skills to manipulate basic algebraic equations. Also, students will do an online pre-lab assessment to ensure adequate preparation.  

The dates for both the online component and the lab are below. Times are 12-2pm.
