The Department of Physics is developing a new laboratory sequence for a new physics-for-life-science-students course. The lecture part of the course has been completely reconstructed with a fully detailed course syllabus on a lecture by lecture basis using only physics relevant to the life sciences and amply illustrated with life-science examples. An appropriate lab sequence using modern tools of physics, computer acquisition and analysis of data, and experimental examples relevant to life science majors has been developed and pilot tested on trial classes with 50 to 200 students. Some of the experiments are biceps muscle model, ion transport, color perception, and heat transport, besides the more usual kinematics, Newton Second Law, electrostatics, and circuits. The lab grading system is being revised to give the students more freedom to work at their own speed and style. The lab sequence is being expanded to serve 100 life science students at UCLA. The ultimate aim of the project is to develop a textbook and lab handbook which will be made available nationwide. *

物理系正在为一门新的物理终身科学课程开发新的实验室序列。课程的讲课部分已经被完全重建，在逐节讲课的基础上，用完全详细的课程教学大纲，只使用与生命科学有关的物理，并用生命科学的例子进行了充分的说明。利用现代物理工具、计算机数据采集和分析以及与生命科学专业相关的实验实例，开发了合适的实验序列，并在50至200名学生的试验班上进行了初步测试。除了更常见的运动学、牛顿第二定律、静电学和电路外，还有一些实验是二头肌肌肉模型、离子传输、颜色感知和热传输。实验室评分系统正在进行修订，让学生们有更多的自由来按照自己的速度和风格工作。加州大学洛杉矶分校的实验室序列正在扩大，以服务于100名生命科学专业的学生。该项目的最终目标是开发一本教科书和实验手册，并将在全国范围内提供。*
