Cost Effective Laboratory for a Large General Education Physics Course

一种新型的实验室经验正在开发中， 以实验为主的通识物理课程 由学生在自己的住所使用工具包进行 由廉价的组件组成，并由精心制作的 实验室手册，辅以一些录像带。 的 该项目的具体成果将得到测试和评估， 实验室课程的基础上，这套设备， 专业实验室手册有印刷版和 计算机可读的形式和视频。 这些材料将 供其他学校采用。 程序 将很容易转移，很容易修改，和自我- 在这种情况下， 当本实验室表格取代 常规形式。

A new type of laboratory experience is being developed for a general education physics course primarily based on experiments carried out by students in their own residences utilizing a kit of inexpensive components and directed by a carefully crafted laboratory handbook supplemented by a few video tapes. The tangible results of the project will be a tested evaluated, laboratory course based on this kit of equipment, the professional laboratory manual available in printed and computer readable form, and the videos. These materials will be made available for adoption by other schools. The program will be easily transferable, easily modified, and self- financing in that a net savings of many dollars will immediately result when this laboratory form replaces the conventional form.
