  2. Practice in preparing written lab reports.
  3. The use of graphical analysis both as a means of conveying information and as a means of testing the veracity of physical models.
  4. Procedures for dealing with uncertainties in measurements and how to combine uncertainties to determine the extent to which theory and experiemnt agree.
  5. Develop the ability to think critically about how to structure and perform experiments and how to improve and refine experiments.
