Many of the laboratory experiments in the Department's introductory classes use the same small-scale, low-cost approach to instruction as the Little Shop of Physics. Others have a biological focus that are designed to serve students from majors in this area. And others use modern technology and tools to provide an excellent instructional experience in line with the latest research in Physics education.
