*;Why do Laboratory Work?
#all science is based on a foundation of experimental data and your experiments will exemplify and illuminate many of the principles studied in the lectures.
#the laboratory will be a medium for teaching some new material which will not be covered in the lecture course.
#it gives you an opportunity to train your brain, eyes and hands in good experimental techniques, while familiarizing yourself with some of the instruments used in experimental science.
#Obtaining good results is important, particularly if you intend to go on to more difficult labs. But do not get so involved in the mechanics of "doing" that you lose sight of the goal of the experiment, the theory behind it, and its wider applications.
*;We try to timetable experiments as near as possible to the related material in the lecture schedule. However, details in the operation of the laboratories prevent us from achieving a perfect match and we ask you to be tolerant in this regard.

*;You will need
**this manual
**the usual writing materials (graph paper is provided)
**an electronic calculator

 You will have been assigned to a particular 3-hour laboratory time at registration.  '''This may only be changed by arrangement with Lab Coordinator'''.  On the lab [http://google.ca website] and on the bulletin board outside 102C Bethune College you will find your name on a student list with your particular group section (A, B, C).  A schedule will be posted on the lab website and on the board showing which experiment each group will be doing week by week. This schedule is also included at the front of the manual.

 In most cases, experiments of the schedule are arranged in twos, one-half of the class will be doing each of these experiments in any one week.  The same experiments will run for three weeks, by which time every student will have completed both, though not in the same order.  Students are required to attend all laboratory sessions to which they are assigned.  Please be certain to sign the demonstrator's mark list as proof of attendance.  Absence due to illness or other legitimate cause should be reported to Lab Coordinator, 233 PSE, as soon as possible so that credit may be obtained or an alternate lab assigned.

+Students will certainly discuss and talk about their studies with their friends and this can be very useful; but any work that you hand in must have been done by yourself.  This is the only way to test your own competence and to prepare yourself for positions of responsibility after graduation.  If scientists are dishonest, they are useless.
