This project focuses on a workshop-based approach to an introductory physical science course. An enhanced learning environment is being created that utilizes advanced technologies such as computers, networks, and digital media for student exploration and learning in physical science. The project adopts an inquiry-based approach to the materials that fosters student collaboration, practice of oral and written communication skills, and an appreciation for some of the fundamental principles of physics, chemistry, astronomy, and earth system science. Wherever appropriate, microcomputer-based laboratory techniques and digital multimedia are being used to enrich the learning experience and enable students to focus on building appropriate mental models of the scientific concepts being explored. Two sections (to be called The Science Studio) of a pilot physical science course are being offered in the workshop format, meeting twice per week for 2-hour sessions. One of the sections is offered within the university's honors program while the other has open enrollment. Widespread adoption of the workshop model after the pilot phase may affect in excess of 1,000 students per year.

该项目着重于基于研讨会的物理科学课程的方法。正在创建一个增强的学习环境，利用高级技术（例如计算机，网络和数字媒体）进行物理科学探索和学习。该项目采用基于询问的方法来培养学生合作，口头和书面沟通技巧实践的材料，并感谢某些物理，化学，天文学和地球系统科学的基本原理。无论如何，基于微型计算机的实验室技术和数字多媒体都将被用来丰富学习经验，并使学生能够专注于建立探索科学概念的适当心理模型。试点物理科学课程的两个部分（称为科学工作室）以研讨会格式提供，每周两次开会2小时的课程。其中一个部分是在大学的荣誉计划中提供的，而另一节则是公开入学的。在试点阶段之后，研讨会模型的广泛采用可能会影响每年超过1,000名学生。
