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. ***

9350662 Benenson 该设备用于莱曼布里格斯学院（密歇根州立大学自然科学学院的一部分）的综合实验室讲座基础物理课程（招生人数约 180 人）。该课程是未来物理和天文学系招生人数大幅增加的物理课程的典范。该课程包含几个创新特点：1）通过团队教学将讲座和实验室完全整合在一个教学大纲中，2）最大限度地利用个人计算机与现有的通用、商业应用程序，3）采用视频帧抓取技术作为通用工具，4）开放的实验室结构。前三项已经在有限的基础上进行了测试。本周第一堂课，讲师介绍了实验室实验并做了一个案例。例如，讲师可以对冰球碰撞的空中桌子进行录像。通过逐帧回读视频，讲师可以分析冰球位置并表明动量和能量守恒。初步实验已证明提供了非常好的数据。本周，学生们安排使用摄像机和空中工作台来做自己的实验。在录像带上制作一些事件后，学生们然后在可用的计算机上对其进行分析。为此，可以使用绘图、电子表格、绘图等应用程序。该课程首先培训学生使用这些程序。很容易产生大量的广泛数据。对电子表格程序的分析和使用绘图包的曲线拟合产生了非常专业的结果，并向学生介绍了实际进行研究的现代方式。数据缩减包括通过电子表格进行广泛的错误分析。 ***
