Session Format
Poster Session (60 minutes)
Location
Holiday Inn
Second Time and Location
Friday, March 8 from 9:00-9:20 a.m. at the Nessmith-Lane Conference Center
Abstract for the conference program
In this research project, students are required to self-develop activities for formulating protocols of collecting data, analyzing, and making conclusions and writing formal lab reports for a semester long series of realistic physics problems. The purpose is to train students in being able to be creative, critical, and trouble shoot simple problems during experimentation. Students’ performances are assessed by pre-and post- surveys as well as carefully developed rubrics based on scientific research and reporting standards.
