Objectives of the Course	The aim of this course is to observe and verify the fundamental concepts of classical mechanics through laboratory experiments, and to develop students’ skills in experimental design, measurement techniques, uncertainty analysis, data interpretation, and scientific reporting.
Course Content	This course covers measurement and error analysis, significant figures, graph plotting, and data analysis. The laboratory experiments include linear motion, constant velocity and constant acceleration motion, conservation of linear momentum, motion on an air table, Maxwell’s disk, ballistic pendulum, projectile motion, inclined plane with friction, equilibrium of physical bodies, and applications of Hooke’s law.”
Course Methods and Techniques	The course is conducted through laboratory studies based on experimentation, observation, measurement, data collection, error analysis, graph plotting, calculations, and report preparation. Students perform the experiments through group work and analyze the experimental results.
