A Computer-Based Physical Science Laboratory

该项目正在扩大“非科学”专业，包括教育专业的物理科学入门课程的实验室部分。 它创建了一个实验室，允许“非科学”专业的学生亲身体验物理科学的方法和目的。 该项目正在提供计算机采集、绘图和分析实验数据以及计算机采集和分析实验录像的仪器。 它还允许学生花更多的时间规划，执行和报告在物理科学自选主题的独立调查。 该项目允许更多的学生从大学毕业，根据个人经验，了解物理科学的方法和目的。

This project is expanding the laboratory component of an introductory physical science course for "non-science" majors, including education majors. It creates a laboratory that allows "non-science" majors to experience hands-on the methods and purposes of physical science. The project is providing instruments for computer acquisition, graphing, and analysis of experimental data and for computer acquisition and analysis of video recordings of experiments. It also allows students to spend more time planning, executing, and reporting an independent investigation of a self-selected topic in physical science. The project is allowing more students to graduate from college with an understanding, based on personal experience, of the methods and purposes of physical science.
