Final project Instruction Slides

• Slides

What is your own project?

You have worked so hard for the first 4 weeks of 4BL.   You have mastered three key ingredients, step by step.

1. How to design your experiment from scratch to observe motions, based on modern technology --  Arduino.
2. How to analyze data by modern programing language -- Python. 
3. How to apply basic physics laws , and predict physical phenomenas. 

Your project could be anything you like, as far a you advance you combine above, and advance your knowledge and experience for your future career. 
Namely,  you'd better satisfy the following conditions:

1. You utilize Arduino
2.  You predict the outcome by Python, and analyze the data by Python, then compare it with prediction. 
3.  It is related to 4BL materials during the first four weeks. 

Please come up with your own creative, innovative project.
A few remarks:

1. If you need more advice, please free to contact the instructor and/or TA. 
2. If you need some lab equipment, please also contact the instructor and/or TA. 
3. Please utilize the 4BL lab space, any time between 10 am and 4 pm. 

You are going to make an oral presentation at your last Lab the 6th week.

Oral Presentations

You are going to make an oral presentation on The last week of class.
Please post your google Slides by the midnight before your presentation day below, under the appropriate lab session. 

• Students Oral Presentations​
• Template is listed here.  Please download and use this file as a reference to how your presentation should be organized. 
• Template
• Students Project List

​​Please read the instruction below to prepare your presentation file.

• Each group will have ~15 minutes for presentation, followed by 5 minutes of Q&A.
• The file name of your Google slide should be like
  • ​Table#_ShortTitle.gslide
  • ​For example:   Table3_Momentum_Conservation.glide
• The total length should be 15 slides max.
• The front page should include
  • Title
  • Your Names and Majors
  • Picture of your group (with names on top of picture)
• Then the remaining structure should be like the template. 
  1. Introduction, overview of experimental setup
  2. Theory and prediction
  3. Experimental setup (picture, conceptual drawing)
  4. A video of running experiment
  5. Data taking and analysis methods
  6. Result 1
  7. Result 2
  8. ...
  9. Discussion 
  10. Conclusions and Future prospects
• Make sure that the link to your video is working (from any computer).   You may have to copy your video file into the same folder.

Presentation Evaluation

• Each student will be evaluating the other group presentations. Download and complete this link.
• Presentation evaluation (Due Friday March 13)

Final Report

The final report is due on Sunday, March 22 at 11:59 pm.

• We are deciding to have the final report be a group report, but there will be another document each person must submit individually telling your TA what each person did to ensure that every member of the group contributed properly.
• Member contribution Template
• Please describe your own contributions. 
• To make your report look more professional, here is a link to a template. This template is written in LaTeX, which is the documentation method used in professional physics review letters. It may be recommended by your TA to write your report in LaTeX, otherwise write it in MS Word or Google Docs (or equivalent), single-space is OK.
• LaTeX Template
• Convert it to PDF file, and upload to GradeScope.

Group Participation Self-Evaluation

• We want to ensure that all group members participated within the project. Complete the following evaluation of your group individually.
• Evaluation Due Monday March 23 at 11:59 pm.
