Overview
Throughout this course you will be doing laboratory experiments that help reinforce the concepts learned in the chapters. In those experiments you will collect data and analyze the results. The validity of scientific results relies on 1) the proper use of the scientific method 2) a reliable assessment of the uncertainty of the measurements and 3) the understanding that the work presented by the scientist was original and not copied from another scientist. In this discussion we will focus on each of these areas and discuss why they are important to the scientific process.
