Basic Physics Practicum Course

The Basic Physics Practicum 1 course is intended to introduce practical activities consisting of data collection, data processing and preparing practical reports. In this practicum, students will examine uncertainty in measurements, density of solids, moment of inertia of pulleys, Newton‘s Second Law, mathematical pendulum, spring constant, pulley system, viscosity of liquids, sound wave resonance, thermometer sensing, calorimeter heat capacity, and heat melting ice. Practical activities are expected to strengthen students‘ understanding of physical phenomena related to kinematics, dynamics, waves and thermophysics. After taking this practicum course, students can understand the limitations of measurement tools and calculate measurement errors that occur, and can understand the concepts of mechanics and thermophysics through the teaching aids used during the practicum. Students are also expected to be able to see the relationship between theory and practice in general.
