Abstract:
The textbook “Physics laboratory experiments” has as its main purpose to support the laboratory component of the teaching of basic physics for first-year students of science and engineering schools. It is the product of the author’s long-term teaching and research experience, aiming at the improvement of physics education and the enhancement of active and creative learning through experimentation. It includes a set of 28 exercises, which meet the pedagogical and educational needs of an introductory university physics laboratory. The first two are introductory exercises on error theory and graphical representations, while the rest cover, indicatively, the main areas of Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, Optics, and Modern Physics. Each exercise consists of two distinct parts: the Theory Sheet, which presents the purpose of the exercise, the basic theory, the description of the experimental setup, and the methodology; and the Laboratory Sheet, which includes preparatory questions, instructions for performing the experiment and taking measurements, the procedure for processing the measurements, and questions for drawing conclusions. The exercises are designed so that students deepen their understanding of the experimental process, become familiar with the use of measuring instruments, record their observations and the errors involved with accuracy, and evaluate their results. At the same time, experiential (“hands-on”) participation is cultivated, so that students enjoy their creative and logical involvement in the experimental method, ultimately perceiving the relationship between the experimental results and the physical laws. In the Appendix, indicative Laboratory Examination Sheets for the course are proposed.
