Abstract
This study examines students^ engagement with experimental procedures beyond routine measurements. Using three computer-based experiments-a simple pendulum, a picket fence, and a free-falling object-students determined the acceleration due to gravity. Results indicate that varying experimental complexity fosters deeper understanding of experimental physics.
