Integrated Lab-Lecture Introductory Physics with Computer Aids

小行星9350662 这些设备是为密歇根州立大学自然科学学院的一部分莱曼布里格斯学校提供的综合实验室-讲座基础物理课程（注册人数约为180人）。该课程作为未来物理课程的典范，在物理学和天文学系有更大的招生。该课程包含几个创新的特点：1）通过单一的教学大纲团队教学的讲座和实验室的充分整合，2）最大限度地使用个人计算机与现有的通用，商业上可用的应用程序，3）就业的视频帧抓取技术作为一种通用工具，和4）开放的实验室结构。前三个项目已经在有限的基础上进行了测试。在本周的第一堂课中，讲师描述实验室实验并做一个案例。例如，演讲者可以录像一个空气表与冰球碰撞。通过逐帧阅读回视频，讲师可以分析冰球的位置，并显示动量和能量守恒。初步实验已显示出非常好的数据。在一周内，学生安排使用摄像机和空气表做自己的实验。在录像带上制作了一些事件后，学生们然后在可用的计算机上分析它们。为此，可使用绘图、电子表格、绘图等应用程序。该课程首先训练学生使用这些程序。很容易产生大量的广泛数据。分析电子表格程序和曲线拟合与绘图软件包产生非常专业的外观结果，并介绍了学生的现代方式，其中研究实际上是执行。数据简化包括通过电子表格进行广泛的错误分析。 ***

9350662 Benenson The equipment is for an integrated lab-lecture elementary physics course (enrollment about 180) for Lyman Briggs School, which is a part of the College of Natural Science at Michigan State University. The course serves as a model for future physics courses with much larger enrollment in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. The course contains several innovative features: 1) full integration of lecture and laboratory by team teaching with a single syllabus, 2) maximum use of personal computers with existing general-use, commercially available applications, 3) employment of video frame grabbing techniques as a general purpose tool, and 4) an open laboratory structure. The first three items have already been tested on a limited basis. In the first lecture of the week, the lecturer describes the laboratory experiment and does one case. For example the lecturer could video tape an air table with pucks colliding. By reading back the video frame by frame, the lecturer can analyze the puck positions and show that momentum and energy are conserved. Preliminary experiments have been shown to give very good data. During the week, the students schedule use of the camcorder and air table to do their own experiment. After producing a few events on video tape, the students then analyze them on the available computers. For this purpose, plotting, spreadsheet, drawing, etc. applications are available. The course begins by training the students in the use of these programs. A very large amount of extensive data is easily produced. Analysis on a spreadsheet program and curve fitting with plotting packages produces very professional looking results and introduces the students to the modern ways in which research is actually performed. Data reduction includes extensive error analysis via spreadsheets. ***
