To achieve the greatest impact, subject matter should be taught ina manner that will engage the student's interest and connect each topicwith the student's own lives and experiences. To motivate and aid thestudent in understanding the principles underlying the experiment, weshould be using methods that stimulate their creativity and activelyinvolve them in the learning process. Unfortunately, many laboratoryexperiments have become cook book situations in which the technology hasobscured the working of the basic principles and the student hasachieved little move than recording data or observing mysteriousresults. The utilization of simplified experiments that the studentshelp design will keep the principle under investigation in clear viewand should promote a better learning experience. In teaching the coreprinciples of any program, it is crucial to apply the theoreticalprinciples to the solution of a variety of common problems in which thestudent comes into contact in their everyday lives. A good instructorcould present one example problem after another or assign many homeworkproblems until the students demonstrated a complete understanding of thesubject. However, by directly involving the student in the design andpreparation of an experiment, the student is prepared to observe thedirect relationships of the principles during the progress of the labexperiment
