- learn physics relevant to microscopic and living systems;
- use 21st century physics tools and software;
- deal with data-rich environments; and
- learn how to design your own experiment and interpret data.
The laboratories are held in a community lab style that will allow you to work together in groups of 4 students on experiments. More information on the community lab style, including information on how the labs will be graded can be found at this LINK.
Laboratories will cover 5 experiments, four of them lasting 2 weeks, one lasting 3 weeks. At the end of each experiment you will work in the lab to finish a laboratory report and present your findings (and ideas for followup experiments) to the other laboratory working groups.
There will be pre-readings for some laboratories that you will be able to access through webassign just like the regular readings.
The recitation sections will be group problem solving. Typically, you will work through an extended multi-part problem often with a biological context.
