Exploring Science Through Experiments: The Basics in Physics is a laboratory manual that guides students through fundamental physics concepts using hands-on experiments. Topics include Basic Measurement, where students learn accurate measurement techniques and Measuring Velocity from Displacement-Time Graph to understand motion analysis. Newton's Second Law explores force and acceleration, while Energy and Power focuses on energy transformations. The manual covers Density and Relative Density for material comparison, Calorimetry for heat transfer and Snell's Law to study light refraction. It also includes experiments on Ohm's Law for electrical resistance and Magnetic Field Pattern of a Bar Magnet to visualize magnetic fields. This manual is designed for pre-diploma courses but is adaptable for foundation studies, requiring SPM-level mathematics and science skills or equivalent.
