The main goal of this project is to improve the learning, retention, and application of physics concepts and principles by students enrolled in physics classes at Joliet Junior College (JJC). This is being accomplished by introducing a series of new experiences using contemporary computer and video technology in physics. A microcomputer is used in the areas of force, motion, temperature, and radiation to perform data collection, analysis, and graphing; and is used to construct, execute, and display physical simulations in mechanics. Stop- action videotapes are used to collect data in projectile and rotational motion. Microcomputers and video technology provide immediate feedback that makes possible a larger number and variety of trials and motivates students to probe in greater detail.The grant is providing software and hardware for six, networked, color Macintosh II workstations equipped with a Universal Lab Interface with appropriate sensors and probes. The grant also is providing a shared LaserWriter II, modem, CD player, scanner, high resolution video camera, and playback deck. This support revitalizes the physics courses at JJC and provides current technology much more quickly than would otherwise be possible.This project is encouraging students to continue study or to support science by improving their experiences in physics, increasing science literacy, helping to prepare JJC's physics courses for the next century, and stimulating other community colleges to adapt this approach.NSF grant funds are being matched with funds from non-federal sources.

该项目的主要目标是提高乔利埃特初级学院 (JJC) 物理课程学生对物理概念和原理的学习、保留和应用。 这是通过使用当代物理计算机和视频技术引入一系列新体验来实现的。 微型计算机用于力、运动、温度和辐射领域，以执行数据收集、分析和绘图； and is used to construct, execute, and display physical simulations in mechanics. Stop- action videotapes are used to collect data in projectile and rotational motion. 微型计算机和视频技术提供即时反馈，使更多数量和种类的试验成为可能，并激励学生进行更详细的探索。这笔赠款将为六台联网的彩色 Macintosh II 工作站提供软件和硬件，这些工作站配备了通用实验室接口以及适当的传感器和探头。 这笔赠款还提供共享 LaserWriter II、调制解调器、CD 播放器、扫描仪、高分辨率摄像机和播放器。 这项支持振兴了 JJC 的物理课程，并比其他方式更快地提供当前技术。该项目鼓励学生继续学习或通过提高物理经验、提高科学素养来支持科学，帮助准备 JJC 下世纪的物理课程，并刺激其他社区大学采用这种方法。NSF 拨款资金正在与非联邦来源的资金相匹配。
