Welcome to the website for the WPI Physics Teaching Laboratories! We strive to make these labs research driven, project based teaching laboratories that compliment concepts taught in classes, while helping students learn essential physics laboratory skills.
We cover topics that range from measuring gravity using supplies you find at home (or in your dorm!) to creating and analyzing your own chaotic pendulum.
These labs are associated with the classes for physics 1110 [General Physics-Mechanics], 1111 [Principles of Physics-Mechanics], 1120 [General Physics-Electricity and Magnetism], 1121 [Principles of Physics-Electricity and Magnetism], 1130 [Modern Physics] and 1140 [Oscillations and Waves]
