 What we learned in Physics 11 laboratory

It was always fun during Thursday afternoon especially because its the time for physics lab. We had to work with other people to finish our long experiments.it was quite stressful because other group mates don't help in performing the experiments. But overall, physics 11 lab is very memorable, especially our teacher maam dosdos.

We learned from our experiments the importance of accuracy and precision in attaining data. We always tend to get the percent difference/error so that our data would be acceptable with a respect to a theoretical value.We also learned to read the vernier and micrometer caliper; the use of these instruments is needed in order to get a more accurate reading of up to 0.01 cm. Also we learned to use some apparatus like the inclined plane, the balance pan, etc and performing the experiments related to their concepts.

The experiment that we like most would probably be the experiment #8 entitled "measuring resistance of resistors." The experiment was fun though frustrating sometimes getting the ohmic values using color-coding and by the multimeter.It was fun making sure that the values you get by color-coding would be exact by calculating; it was also fun identifying the colors because you could get color-blind. We did got a datum that does not coincide with the computed range but its still close so the error is still acceptable.We like this experiment because its much easier compared to the other experiments like that dealing with the machines.
