PRACTICAL WORK OF PHYSICS (MECHANICS)

1. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

ORGANISATION

  • A physics (mechanics) practical work PW is scheduled once a fortnight for each group.
  • The practical works are performed in ascending order. Example: a student who does PW n°3 in the first session will do PW n°4 in the following session.
  • Any justified absence will be made up for in a catch-up session scheduled by the same teacher.
  • The justification must be approved by the vice-dean of pedagogy within 48 hours following the absence.
  • In case of delay in submitting the justification to the responsible of the matter (more than a week after the absence), the student will have a zero.

  • Puts on a white apron.
  • Stores stools under benches before going out.
  • Has prepared his manipulations (students will be questioned and marked accordingly).
  • Brings: 
    1. Scientific calculator.
    2. Necessary equipment to draw graphs (pencil, eraser, 30cm ruler, millimeter sheets, etc.)
  • No exchange of equipment (calculator, pencils, etc.) between students will be tolerated.
  • The use of the mobile phone is strictly prohibited even to use it as a calculator.

REPORTS

  •  The practical work session is reserved for the manipulation and exploitation of the results.
  • The curves must be drawn in pencil on an entire graph sheet (millimeter paper).
  • Reports should be :
    1. Written, properly, on practical work sheets provided by the teacher.
