Recently, students have suggested adding an additional part to our curriculum that is more laboratory, or hands-on based. In response, there is a new layer of work that students can choose to do that is supplementary to the work that is designed for each unit.
For each unit, there will be an option for students to perform an experiment that covers the topics associated with the unit, which can substitute for other activities that normally would be required. The level to which an independent experiment covers unit work depends on the scope of content involved. In many cases, I will suggest an experiment that can be performed, but students also have the option to prepare a proposal for one of their choosing. Each proposal will have to go through an approval process. The details for planning an experiment, gaining approval, and reporting the results are provided below.
