Video On The Computer: A Microcomputer-based Physics Laboratory

该项目将演示视频实验室练习的使用， 微机实验室完整程序的一部分 物理教学最近的技术发展， 允许在标准计算机上直接捕获实时视频 将利用存储器来消除对激光视频的需要 光盘。这应该证明是一个非常具有成本效益的方法， 创建和存储新的物理视频实验。本地 由12个Macintosh IIvx学生组成的局域网 工作站和两个Macintosh Quadra视频采集站 将被组装。每个工作站将与 适当的传感器和探头，允许数据采集和 分析以及视频回放和编辑。学生将 执行选定的视频实验，除了更多的标准 实验室工作。物理和工程预科学生将 设计、拍摄和分析他们自己的视频实验室实验。 所有课程的学生都将制作电子实验报告-- 音频/视频剪辑与文本一起存储在计算机内存中 以及详细分析的图表。沿着他们的视频 工作，学生将采用电子表格分析数据，从 根据以前的NSF开发的实验模型， FIPSE赞助的工作-特别是物理学和工具讲习班， 科学思维。重点将是积极参与 学生和概念发展的基础上动手 体验.

This project will demonstrate the use of video lab exercises as part of a complete program of microcomputer-based laboratory physics instruction. Recent technological developments which allow live video to be captured directly on standard computer memory will be exploited to eliminate the need for laser video discs. This should prove to be a very cost-effective method for creating and storing new physics video experiments. A Local Area Network composed of twelve Macintosh IIvx student workstations and two Macintosh Quadra video capture stations will be assembled. Each workstation will be interfaced with appropriate sensors and probes, allowing data acquisition and analysis as well as video playback and editing. Students will perform selected video experiments in addition to more standard laboratory work. Physics and pre-Engineering students will design, shoot and analyze their own video lab experiments. Students in all courses will produce electronic lab reports-- audio/video clips stored in computer memory together with text and graphics detailing their analyses. Along with their video work, students will employ spreadsheets in analyzing data from experiments modelled on those developed under previous NSF- and FIPSE-sponsored work -- notably Workshop Physics and Tools for Scientific Thinking. The focus will be on active involvement of students and conceptual development based on hands-on experience.
