Development and Dissemination of Innovative Physical Chemistry Experiments: A Faculty Workshop

该项目涉及在为期三周的16名参与者的教师研讨会中开发现代物理化学实验室实验。每位参与者将被要求向研讨会提交一项来自其所在机构的杰出实验，并事先为材料需求和设备提供了规定。然后，参与者将结对开发两个新的实验，并在他们的家庭机构中使用，这些实验将提交给整个小组并由整个小组进行测试。预计将发展涉及现代仪器（如激光和计算机）、易于运输的实验、涉及生化材料的实验和快速动力学的实验。这些新的实验室练习将在下一学年由至少四个参与机构进行实地测试，并在由项目主任在国家ACS会议上组织的研讨会上进行介绍。还将探索产品的商业出版。

This project involves developing modern physical chemistry laboratory experiments during a three week faculty workshop for 16 participants. Each participant will be asked to present to the workshop an outstanding experiment from their home institution, provision having been made in advance for the material needs and apparatus. Participants will then develop in pairs two new experiments with write-ups for use in their home institutions, which will be presented to and tested by the whole group. It is expected that experiments involving modern instrumentation (e.g. lasers and computers), easily transportable experiments, experiments involving biochemical materials, and fast kinetics will be developed. These new laboratory exercises will be field tested during the following academic year by at least four of the participants'institutions, and presented at a symposium organized by the project director at a national ACS meeting. Commercial publication of the products will also be explored.
