In order to ensurethat our results were more broadly applicable, we conducted the same assessment over a two-year period, incorporating 12 groups of students in multiple laboratory sections. The goal of thispaper is to demonstrate that an approach that utilizes simple, inexpensive materials in anelectricity and magnetism laboratory, and guides the students though a series of inquiry-basedactivities, produces learning outcomes comparable to traditional and/or more expensiveinnovative
