General Physics I: Lab Manual for iOLab is designed for the first semester of a two-semester physics sequence. Using the innovative iOLab device, all but one of the ten included mechanics-based labs can be done either in a classroom setting or remotely at home. This manual is designed to provide flexibility for hybrid, remote, and in-class laboratory courses at the university level.
