Students are usually curious about experiencing physics phenomena, for example, feeling a torque, sensing heat transfer, observing the spectra of light, and measuring voltages and currents. If presented in a proper way, these experiences will excite the imagination and understanding. By creating a stronger experience, the likelihood of transferring these ideas to long-term memory and understanding is increased. That is more important than learning to solve clever numerical problems with no sense of relevance to life or career.

Lab #2 Measuring Length, Mass, Time, and Frequency 
Lab #3 Exploring Sensors in Your Smartphone 
Lab #4 Levers and Mechanical Advantage
Lab #5 Introduction to Center of Mass
Lab #6 Measuring and Calculating Center of Mass 
Lab #7 Tricks About Center of Mass and Stability 
Lab #8 Radioactivity and Radon
Lab #9 Liquid Nitrogen and Changes of Phase
Lab #10 Heat Transfer and Temperature 
Lab #11 Heat Transfer Explorations
Lab #12 Heat Capacity of Several Materials
Lab #13 Electricity Explorations—Power
