我们已经开发了一套实验室和实践活动，以配合一门新的为期两学期的跨学科物理课程，该课程已于2012-2013年在马里兰大学学院园区(UMD)的两个小试班上进行了开发和测试。我们设计的实验室将与学生二年级改革后的课程一起使用，微积分、生物和化学是必修课。这些前提条件允许实验室包括与细胞尺度相关的物理内容，从化学相互作用到流体中的随机运动和电荷筛选。我们还在与生物学相关的背景下向学生介绍研究级设备和现代物理分析工具，同时保持改革后的实验室具有教学价值的开放式实验室结构。讨论了这两个班级的初步学生反应结果。
We have developed a set of laboratories and hands on activities to accompany a new two-semester interdisciplinary physics course that has been developed and tested in two small test classes at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) in 2012–2013. We have designed the laboratories to be taken accompanying a reformed course in the student's second year, with calculus, biology, and chemistry as prerequisites. These prerequisites permit the laboratories to include significant content on physics relevant to cellular scales, from chemical interactions to random motion and charge screening in fluids. We also introduce students to research-grade equipment and modern physics analysis tools in contexts relevant to biology while maintaining the pedagogically valuable open-ended laboratory structure of reformed laboratories. Preliminary student response results from these two classes are discussed.
