EXPLANATION OF NOTATION: [1 wt.], [2 wt.], [2-3 wt.], and so on indicate the number of weights credited to an experiment. One weight should require roughly 1 lab session (3 hours) to complete.
A notation of * indicates that the experiment requires extra experimental agility and should be attempted only by persons wishing to take on the extra challenge.
