Day 1:

Today the participants conquered their jet lag and the effects of sleeping in Motel 6 to begin their three weeks of work on Project PHYSLab. Breakfast at 7:15, Break at 9:45, Lunch at 12:00, Break at 2:00 - eat, eat eat! However, they did put in a full day of learning by doing.

Our schedule for the day included:

• Work on spreadsheet analysis of lab data
• Learning how to use the TI-82 to analyze lab data
• Getting local e-mail accounts
• Reflection
  

The participants, who come from as far away as Connecticut, South Carolina and Georgia, are an eager group. They lapped up the instruction and hit the lab with high energy. The photos below show a session on the TI-82 as well as one of the lab groups working on a light lab. More photos tomorrow as they swing into action on the Digital Timer.
