The experiment is a method of exploring the The experiment is a method of exploring the reality directly, used largely in teaching Physics reality directly, used largely in teaching Physics by observation provoked and guided by certain by observation provoked and guided by certain hypotheses which are to be verified by hypotheses which are to be verified by experiments.experiments.

The experiment is the didactic method which The experiment is the didactic method which puts students in the situation of provoking puts students in the situation of provoking intentionally a process or a physical intentionally a process or a physical phenomenon, or of modifying the normal phenomenon, or of modifying the normal conditions in which these are to take place by conditions in which these are to take place by introducing new variables so that all of these introducing new variables so that all of these are to be studied further.are to be studied further.

Data acquisition systems Data acquisition systems

Data acquisition means the sampling and the scanning of the Data acquisition means the sampling and the scanning of the real world in order to register data that can be manipulated real world in order to register data that can be manipulated by a computer. The components of data acquisition systems by a computer. The components of data acquisition systems include appropriate sensors that convert any analogical include appropriate sensors that convert any analogical signal to an electrical signal, then conditioning the signal to an electrical signal, then conditioning the electrical signal which can then be acquired by data electrical signal which can then be acquired by data acquisition hardware.acquisition hardware.
