The experiments range from simple momentof inertia concepts to the testing of more complex friction models and may be easily modified tovary the results. The disk is an appropriate system for sophomore level students to analyze, sincethe solution of its angular momentum differential equation results in a simple angulardisplacement versus time relationship, q(t), even though the frictional model is non-linear,varying with the angular velocity w raised to some unknown power. This permits superior resultssince the q vs. t data set can be accurately determined over the range of angular velocities usingan ordinary

What, exactly, are programevaluators looking for as evidence that the students in a program are demonstrating the ability to“design and conduct experiments”?In this paper, an experiential approach to ensuring that students have some training in design ofexperiments is described along with the responses to a student survey assessing their attitudestoward this approach and how they perceived its effect on their laboratory learning experience.BackgroundA cursory review of the topic of experiment design will inevitably lead one to who manyconsider the “father” of the topic, Sir R.A.
