Lab Manual Revisions and Demo Docs

We’re almost done taking the pictures for the next revision of our undergraduate lab manuals. This week, along with setting up and delivering 14 demonstrations to various physics classes around campus, we’ve been creating more demonstration documentations. Newly uploaded for this week:

4B10.10 – Water and Aluminum on Hot Plate
6D30.20 – Soap Film Interference
