Physics (13) The National Research Council calls for all students to learn science "through methods and processes of inquiry". The Muhlenberg College Physics Department offers inquiry-based courses for humanities and social science students. The Physics of Music also serves this population. The course explores the scientific bases for the observable phenomena of the art of music. The course is an adaptation of many resources including a module from Workshop Physics developed by Priscilla Laws, and web resources such as http://faculty.millikin.edu/~jaskill.nsm.faculty.mu/musicinfo.html, and Reginald Bain's, "A Web-based Multimedia Approach to the Harmonic Series" published in 2002 CMS/ATMI Conference, ATMI Program Kansas City, MO.The course provides an attractive entry point to exploring rigorous scientific principles, by sparking student curiosity and encouraging a scientific approach to problem solving which can be applied across the curriculum. The active-learning approach of this inquiry-based course develops technological literacy through use of current technology for experimental observation. Classroom assessments developed by an evaluator measure the students' abilities to connect abstract concepts with concrete examples from the world of sound. The course is designed and taught by professors from the two disciplines, physics and music. By demonstrating that concepts in physics may be applied to music through activities that relate to students' everyday experiences of listening to music, the course enhances student learning. Project results are disseminated through conference presentations and articles. The course offers a novel and engaging approach to science and technology that can be embraced by other liberal arts institutions.

物理学（13）国家研究理事会要求所有学生“通过探究的方法和过程”学习科学。 穆伦贝格大学物理系为人文和社会科学学生提供探究式课程。 音乐物理学也为这一人群服务。该课程探讨了音乐艺术的可观察现象的科学基础。 本课程是许多资源的改编，包括由Priscilla Laws开发的物理研讨会的模块，以及网络资源，如http：//faculty.millikin.edu/musicinfo.html，以及Reginald Bain在2002年CMS/ATMI会议上发表的“基于网络的多媒体方法来解决谐波系列”，ATMI计划堪萨斯城，MO。本课程提供了一个有吸引力的切入点来探索严格的科学原理，激发学生的好奇心，鼓励科学方法来解决问题，可以在整个课程中应用。 这种探究式课程的主动学习方法通过使用当前的技术进行实验观察来培养技术素养。由评估者开发的课堂评估衡量学生将抽象概念与声音世界中的具体示例联系起来的能力。 该课程由物理和音乐两个学科的教授设计和教学。 通过展示物理学中的概念可以通过与学生听音乐的日常经验相关的活动应用于音乐，该课程提高了学生的学习。 项目成果通过会议介绍和文章传播。 该课程提供了一种新颖而引人入胜的科学和技术方法，可以被其他文科院校所接受。
