Abstract
The two-parameter chi-squared methodology for parameter estimation and model testing is applied to an introductory physics lab experiment to model air resistance on falling coffee filters. Data collection details along with sample data are provided and the results of a chi-squared analysis are interpreted. Problems are included (with solutions in an appendix).
