Laser Applications in Science Education (LASE): Dissemination Phase

9353404 Williams LASE项目的这一阶段在1994年夏季和1995年再次提供一系列4个为期5天的讲习班。1994年夏天，这些地点将设在西海岸的大学。1995年，这四个地点将在美国东南部、中西部或东北部形成一个集群。在每个站点，由作者（LASE项目PI）领导的两个为期5天的研讨会中的第一个；第二，给予“地方所有权”，将由当地顾问领导。研讨会将涵盖激光测量、光束扫描、折射率测量、透镜、模式识别、光电探测器、调制光束、光纤导向灯、吸收和反射、偏振和液晶、干涉、衍射和全息。数学将融入所有活动。在每个研讨会上，12名中学教师将接受培训，向其他教师介绍这些主题，并作为课堂上的实验练习，为学生提供进一步实验的机会，并在项目期刊LASE LOG上发表他们的“发现”。顾问将在第一次会议上协助和观察，但在第二次会议上负责。＊＊＊

9353404 Williams This phase of Project LASE provides a series of four 5-day workshops during the summer of 1994 and again in 1995. During the summer of 1994 the sites would be at universities on the West Coast. In 1995 the four-sites would form a cluster in the southeastern, midwestern or northeastern United States. At each site the first of two 5-day workshops will be led by the author (LASE Project PI); the second, to give "local ownership", will be led by a local Consultant. The workshops will cover laser surveying, beam scanning, refractive index measurements, lenses, pattern recognition, photodetectors, modulating beams, guiding lights with fibers, absorption and reflecting, polarization and liquid crystals, interference, diffraction, and holography. Mathematics will be integrated into all activities. At each workshop twelve secondary school teachers will be trained to present these topics, to other teachers,and as lab exercise in their classrooms with opportunities for their students to experiment further and publish their "findings" in the project journal LASE LOG. The Consultants will assist and observe at the first meeting, but be in charge at the second. ***
