As Dr. LeClair requested, here is a description of what I've been working on so far. After reading a few of the ASIM labs and learning what sort of equipment they had on hand, it was pointed out to me that the Archimedes' Principle lab was confusing and a bit long in its present state. After reading it, I agreed and did a rewrite of the lab, intended for use with the GLX. Here is a link to that rewrite (I believe it is the correct version) Archimedes' Principle Lab .
Problems I found with the old lab:
Directions were unclear at times, as were diagrams. The directions were also long, and yet not very step-by-step
It was not necessary to measure the volume of the rod used since it was being placed into a fluid in a graduated cylinder.
The lab writeup length hasn't changed, but hopefully the things in it are much clearer now. I'm currently working on a laptop + Data Studio version of the writeup, as well as teacher notes for the lab. I'll post them when I finish them. Also, any testing and feedback would be greatly appreciated.
