Advance Study Assignments
Each experiment has an Advance Study Assignment.
The Advance Study Assignments are not
marked; they are designed to help you
understand the experiment and to give you practice with the
calculations. Although no mark is
assigned for the Advance Study Assignment, they are very useful
in the preparation to perform the experiment
as well as to write the reports and quizzes (see below).
D.
Experiment Assessment
Each experiment will be evaluated out
of 10 marks. A specific summary of the assessment for each
experiment is given at the end of every
experiment. This evaluation will be based on the following
components.
1.
Observations Sheets
An Observations Sheet is required for
each experiment. Observations Sheets are included in this
Laboratory Manual after the Experimental
Procedure in each experiment. The Observations Sheet
has been prepared to simplify the recording
of data and observations. Sometimes questions are
included to guide your thinking.
These are to be answered as you work through the experimental
procedure. The Observations Sheet
has been prepared in duplicate as you will be required to
submit the original copy to your laboratory
instructor at the end of each laboratory period.
The copy should be made using duplicating
film. The second copy is to be left
in your
Laboratory Manual for future reference.
All observations must be recorded directly
on the
Observations Sheet in ink.
A separate laboratory note book is not required. Sheets of scrap
paper must not to be used for recording
observations. If an error is made, simply cross out the
error and record the correction in the
unused space provided on the Observations Sheet. The
Observations Sheet may be included as
part of the experiment assessment.
