Course description and aims
This course conducts elementary experiments related to mechanics, waves, optics, and thermodynamics.
Students confirm physical phenomena through experiments and learn experimental techniques used in physics, methods of data analyses and specifics of report preparation.
Student learning outcomes
By completing this course, students will be able to:
1) Understand the principles and methods of experiments.
2) Efficiently use experimental apparatus.
3) Analyze experimental data.
4) Prepare clear and concise experimental reports.
Keywords
Young's modulus, surface tension, specific-heat ratio, wavelength of light
Competencies that will be developed
| Specialist skills | ✔ Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
This course is conducted during the summer season (between 2Q and 3Q). The students are grouped in 12 groups (A~L), and each group conduct the 3 experiments (themes) in consecutive 3 days (except for weekends, TokyoTech official summer holidays).
Students are to complete given experiments and report their results. Each student works on the experiment alone.
Course schedule/Required learning
| Course schedule | Required learning | |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | Guidance (the last 2 weeks of 2Q). Students can participate on any one day. | |
| Class 2 | From class 2, students will rotate through and complete the 3 themes out of following 4 experiments. 1. Young’s modulus | Read textbook in advance and understand experimental procedure. |
| Class 3 | 3. Surface tension of a liquid | Read textbook in advance and understand experimental procedure. |
| Class 4 | 5. Specific-heat ratio of air | Read textbook in advance and understand experimental procedure. |
| Class 5 | 7. Measurement of the wavelength of light | Read textbook in advance and understand experimental procedure. |

In order to follow the procedure for COVID-19, the number of registration will be limited to about 200 students.
If the number of applications (as of 6th of July) exceeds 200, there will be a selection. At the selection higher priority
will be put for those who are going to take teachers certificates, and those who wish to apply for the physics department.
