Lee College Physics Laboratory Project

这个项目的主要目标是提高学习， 物理概念和原理的保留和应用 由李学院物理系的学生所做的实验。 这 正在通过引入一系列新的 实验室利用微机的经验 实验室，活动和力学新实验。 这些实验室的经验是在运动学领域， 力、旋转运动、能量和简谐运动。 利用Thornton和Laws的MBL结果， 结果在李学院，一个新的实验室课程是 正在开发的新技术， 经过验证的活动和实验。 微型计算机正在 用于执行数据收集、分析和绘图;以及 正在被用来构造、执行和显示物理 力学模拟。为软件提供支持 以及六台联网的彩色Macintosh IIsi的硬件 配备通用实验室接口的工作站， 合适的传感器和探针。此外，还支持 激光打印机、CD阅读器、扫描仪和一些实验室 设备。这个项目鼓励学生继续 研究物理或通过提高他们的科学支持科学。 物理学的经验，提高科学素养，帮助 为下一个世纪准备李学院的物理课程， 以刺激其他两年制和四年制大学适应 这种方法满足他们的需求。

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 Lee College. This is being accomplished by introducing a series of new experiences in the laboratory utilizing microcomputer-based laboratories, activities, and new experiments in mechanics. These laboratory experiences are in the areas of kinematics, forces, rotational motion, energy, and simple harmonic motion. Using some of the MBL results of Thornton and Laws with some results done at Lee College, a new laboratory curriculum is being developed that is integrating new technologies with proven activities and experiments. Microcomputers are being used to perform data collection, analysis, and graphing; and are being used to construct, execute, and display physical simulations in mechanics.The support is provided for software and hardware for six, networked, color Macintosh IIsi workstations equipped with a Universal Lab Interface with appropriate sensors and probes. Support is also provided for a laser printer, CD reader, scanner, and some laboratory equipment.This project is encouraging students to continue study in physics or to support science by improving their experiences in physics, to increase science literacy, to help prepare Lee College's physics courses for the next century, and to stimulate other two-year and four-year colleges to adapt this approach for their needs.
