Physics and Life: Summer Institutes for Secondary Science Teachers

物理与生活：暑期研究所 中学科学教师，提出了一系列的强化 物理学和生命科学教师暑期班， 8-12年级，将于1989、1990和1991年举行。 他们将 联合收割机结合科学和科学史， 强化实验室培训。 大约20名候选人将 主要从明尼苏达州和上 中西部地区参加每个研究所和至少一半 的空间将保留给那些教师谁将 需要食宿 教师将重复重要的历史实验， 为了理解科学概念的发展 以及物理学和生物学的相互丰富。 许多 这些实验将用一个简单的， 便宜的仪器，并可供教师使用， 演示或实验室。 在每个领域，历史研究 将在现代生物物理实验中达到顶峰。 通过 将这些课程的一部分纳入他们的学校 课程教师将展示之间的联系 不同的科学及其实际应用;加强 学生对科学过程的理解 提高实验技能和解决问题的能力 技术，使学习更有趣，因此， 增加科学课程的入学人数， 学生对科学的熟练程度。 1989年的研究所将讨论电力及其 应用于生物学和医学。 该课程将 基于格雷和杜菲的作品和发现， 杜波依斯-雷蒙德和赫姆霍尔茨。 1990年的研究所将专注于光学和视觉。 的 课程将以阿基米德到麦克斯韦的作品为基础。 1991年的研究所将研究声学和听力。 的 讨论和实验将基于原创作品 从伽利略到亥姆霍兹。 费用分摊约为24% 国家科学基金会的要求。

The project; Physics and Life: Summer Institutes for Secondary Science Teachers, proposes a series of intensive summer institutes for teachers of physics and life sciences, grades 8-12, to be held in 1989, 1990 and 1991. They will combine science and the history of science, amplified by an intensive laboratory training. Some twenty candidates will be selected primarily from around Minnesota and the upper mid-west to participate in each institute and at least half of the spaces will be reserved for those teachers who will require room and board. Teachers will repeat important historical experiments in order to understand the development of scientific concepts and the mutual enrichment in physics and biology. Many of these experiments will be conducted with a simple and inexpensive apparatus and may be used by teachers as demonstrations or labs. In each field, the historical study will culminate in modern biophysical experiment. By incorporating parts of these courses into their school curricula teachers will demonstrate the links between different sciences and their practical applications; enhance their students' understanding of the scientific process, improve their experimental skills and problem-solving techniques, make learning more entertaining, and as a result increase the enrollment into science courses and improve students' proficiency in science. The 1989 institute will be on electricity and its applications to biology and medicine. The course will be based on works and discoveries from Gray and Dufay, to Du Bois-Reymond, and Helmholtz. The 1990 institute will focus on optics and vision. The course will be based on works from Archimedes to Maxwell. The 1991 institute will be on acoustics and hearing. The discussion and experiments will be based on original works from Galileo to Helmholtz. Cost-sharing is approximately 24% of the National Science Foundation request.
