This paper was inspired by the numerous requests from "TPT" readers to expand the number of examples of "recurrent study" lab exercises described in my previous paper "Physics Labs with Flavor." I recommend that readers examine it first in order to better understand this one as my attempt here is to be brief. In that paper, one can find details…

Briefly considers the nature of physics laboratories and their role in the physics curriculum. Also considers three valuable outcomes of laboratory experiences: using equipment, doing real experiments, and handling phenomena. (JN)

Presents a table cross-referencing 12 physics laboratory manuals by topics. Topic areas include measurement and techniques, mechanics, molecular physics, waves and optics, electricity and magnetism, and quantum physics. (JN)

Reports the results of a national survey on teaching introductory physics at the college level. Lists the names of the most frequently used textbooks, reasons for changing textbooks used earlier, information regarding laboratory manuals, and instructor's comments on this type of course. (YP)

Describes a circuit by which capacitance and the dielectric constant can be measured. Shows the circuit diagram and the method to calculate these constants. (YP)
