Collection of Freshman Physics Labs
Faculty Commons material developed by Sarah Phan-Budd - Published December 3, 2018
These are a series of python lab worksheets I wrote for my freshman lab students (either calculus or non-calculus based courses would be fine). There are five labs in total, and each is designed to complement a standard two hour lab period. I did not include the actual labs, but we run pretty standard labs with pretty standard Vernier lab equipment.
I used modified the curve fitting algorithms from:

Code version: Published in the PICUP Collection, August 2016.

I also modified the code from:
Title: Projectile Motion: Experiment and Computational Model(PICUP Code Library).

Finally, I'd like to thank my colleague Carl Ferkinhoff at Winona State University, for the template to make pretty Jupyter worksheets with a nice table of contents.
