They then had to adapt it to the available equipment in our university laboratory. Oncethe teams had collected data, they were to analyze and compare it with the physical modelingof the observed phenomenon. Finally, they were to create a self-explanatory videopresentation, limited to 10 minutes, where the student teams explained the physicalphenomenon, the modeling, the experiment conducted, and the analysis and conclusionsdrawn.
