Week 2: Day 2

Today I looked over the lab reports to include the new knowledge from the videos.

There seems to be a lot to change. The question in lab report #1 was how a series circuit's current and voltage relate to one another. I realized the procedure I made did not exactly answer that question; therefore the conclusion was difficult to write.

There were a lot of new screenshots and revisions in the procedure to be made. After the video I realized it was impossible to explain the connection between the two of them without also talking about resistance. Anyone following the lab must have prior knowledge about resistance, current, and voltage, otherwise they won't understand what we're doing.

In the previous procedure I made a series circuit and used to voltmeter to measure the volts. There were no specific sets of data. In the revision of the experiment, there will be detailed tables. I'm going as far as thinking I should revise the variables. I think it would make much more sense for the controlled variable to be "resistance" instead of "type of circuit" since the "type of circuit" is already pretty much given.

I think the rest of this week will be spent revising the lab reports. It is taking much more time than I thought it would, but I suppose since it's our first legit time of designing an experiment it's bound to be tricky. Next week I'll probably finish off the videos. I find that knowing the stuff before we actually experiment on it and figuring it out along the way helps a lot. I guess I won't actually be sticking to the written plan now.
