Enhancing Physics Laboratories with Video Technology

清晰、明确的“真实的世界”物理实验室体验 对培养一种欣赏能力至关重要， 非物理专业学生对物理的理解。 海德堡 学院正在通过开发实验室来解决这一需求 使用“视频系统”（摄像机，慢跑和 穿梭播放机、显示器和三脚架）。 这笔赠款将用于在以下领域进行实验： 运动学、动力学、动量、角运动和能量。 这些是学生们发现很难理解的领域。 想象和理解。 视频设备提供 学生用工具记录复杂或短暂的 这些领域的共同事件，并逐步分析事件， 随着时间的推移，事件的进展。视频的力量 它帮助学生观察和量化 “真实的世界”中通常不能考虑的事件， 介绍性实验室，因为大小，空间和时间 局限性。 对于非物理专业的学生来说， 当他们发现物理学存在于 国家科学基金会的资金正在与非国家科学基金会的资金相匹配。 联邦消息来源。

Clear, unambiguous, "real world" physics laboratory experiences are crucial for the development of an appreciation and understanding of physics by the non-physics major. Heidelberg College is addressing this need by developing laboratory experiences that utilize a "video system" (camcorder, jog and shuttle player, monitor and tripod).The equipment acquired with this grant is being used to conduct experiments in the areas of kinematics, dynamics, momentum, angular motion, and energy. These are areas which students have found difficult to visualize and understand. The video equipment is providing students with tools to record the complex or short duration events common to these areas, and analyze the events step-by- step as the events progress in time.The power of the video system is that it aids students in observing and quantifying "real world" events that normally cannot be considered in the introductory laboratory because of size, spatial, and time limitations. For non-physics majors, it is sometimes the first time they discover that physics exists outside of the laboratory.NSF funds are being matched with funds from non- federal sources.
