Lab Template

In order to do data processing and analysis, we will use Jupyter notebooks (which run on the Python programming language). Download the following notebook file:

After downloading, find the file (it should be in the “Downloads” folder) and drag it to the desktop. Rename the file something unique. Double-click on it to open. (Say “yes” or “open” to any messages that pop up). The notebook contains a combination of Python instructions as well as directions for you about what it is and how it is used.

That didn't work!

If double-clicking didn't work, open a command line (cmd on a PC, Terminal on a Mac) and type 'Jupyter Notebook'.  Then use Jupyter's file navigator to open the downloaded worksheet.

Take a look over your report and make sure it's complete. This lab had two smaller experiments instead of one larger one, so make sure you include enough discussion and draw sufficient conclusions oneach part individually. Look back at the report rubric to make sure you've done a good enough job in each category.

• How did you set up your experiments and take measurements?
• Think about the questions asked throughout… how does your data help you answer those questions?
• What conclusions can you draw from your data.

If you're all done, save your file as a PDF.

Reports are submitted digitally through an online form below. If you make a mistake, you can re-submit, but work done after the end of the lab period will not be accepted.
