The material covered in these labs will undoubtedly outpace your lecture session. The labs are used as hands on experience to the principles of physics. You should not necessarily think of the labs to be a reinforcement of material already presented in the lecture session, but as itself, a learning opportunity. It is all for the better when a lab does follow the lecture session and is a reinforcement of the material, yet when it precedes the lecture session it should be thought of as an introduction to the material. In all, we hope that you enjoy your lab experience and take from it the opportunity it offers you to better comprehend experimental techniques and the concepts of physics.
