大学预科物理教师培训实验室 模拟/交互式视频物理实验室由一个 六个配备激光视盘播放机的电脑工作站， 相关的彩色显示器。 这个实验室形成了一个整体 一个学期课程的一部分物理科学（采取由 小学教育专业）和两个学期的课程 顺序物理1和物理2（由中学教育 科学专业）。 该项目的目的是提高 学生通过使用一个基本的物理理解 以学生为中心的活动的计划序列。 的 模拟/视频实验室是一个更大项目的一部分， 包括一个单独的基于计算机的物理实验室， 学生能够使用连接到计算机的设备， 实时采集并显示数据， 视觉上和数字上的数据 拟议 模拟/视频实验室，学生在每个计算机工作站 拥有一整套物理模拟软件， 物理探索者，他们能够调查 通常研究的所有物理现象 物理学入门课程。 此外，每个学生都有一个 一个综合的交互式视频软件包， 机械宇宙 项目完成后， 物理科学，物理1和物理2将有 经历了从传统教学 基础物理课程向以学生为中心课程的转变 数据采集、模拟和交互式视频活动。

Laboratory for Training Pre-College Physics Teachers The Simulation/Interactive Video Physics Laboratory consists of a six computer workstations equipped with a laserdisc player and associated color monitor. This laboratory forms an integral part of the one semester course Physical Science (taken by elementary education majors) and the two semester course sequence Physics 1 and Physics 2 (taken by secondary education science majors). The purpose of the project is to enhance student understanding of basic physics through the use of a planned sequence of student centered activities. The simulation/video lab forms part of a larger project which includes a separate computer-based physics lab in which students are able to use equipment interfaced to a computer to acquire and display data in real-time and then to manipulate the data both visually and numerically. In the proposed simulation/video lab, students at each computer workstation have available a complete array of physics simulation software, The Physics Explorer, with which they are able to investigate the full range of physical phenomena normally studied in introductory physics courses. In addition, each student has a comprehensive package of interactive video software based on the Mechanical Universe. Upon completion of the project, the courses Physical Science, Physics 1, and Physics 2 will have undergone a complete transformation from traditionally taught elementary physics courses to courses based on student centered data acquisition, simulation, and interactive video activities.
