As a part of Project PHYSLab, each participant wrote up one lab activity in a manner that he/she would use when they returned to their school in the fall. These labs were converted into HTML format so they could quickly be placed on our server and shared by physics teachers around the country.
The links below take you directly to the labs that were written during July 1997, by the 20 participants. They encompass a wide range of topics, and have several ideas that could easily be adapted and probably should be adapted into your physics programs.
We congratulate the participants on their industry, creativity and accomplishment!
