Abstract: Engaging students in authentic scientific processes is a big difficulty for physics instructors. Because physics is inherently an experimental science, our laboratories can be a good place to do it. However, the purpose of experiments is often to demonstrate a principle that the students have already learned, and the emphasis is on quantitative data analysis with plenty of instructions on how to carry out the experiment. This method is at odds with the scientific approach.
