Science Precision Challenge through Interactive Screen Experiments at TeenTech 08

这项提议是为了给学生提供一种独特的体验，让他们进行互动屏幕实验，这是一项名为TeenTech 08的大型学校科学活动的一部分-Maggie Philbin的大脑产物-旨在让12-14岁的年轻人在知道他们幻想破灭的时候参与科学。在雷丁大学，我们已经安装了专用的专业设备，并正在开发英国独有的专业知识，来制作在线互动屏幕实验(ISES)，供本科生物理专业的学生使用。ISE允许单个学生像在现实世界中一样，逐步进行实验，但使用鼠标或计算机上的触摸屏来操作每个元素。他们对仪器如何工作以及如何进行精确的测量产生了一种感觉。为了制作ISE，在一个高质量的媒体套件中拍摄了数千张设备的照片，以展示实验中可能发生的每一种可能的排列和环境组合。然后，这由复杂的编码控制，以便操作员(学生)向后或向前‘播放’胶片，以观察实际操作的实验并采取适当的测量。我们计划使用这种高质量的媒体设备来制作ISE，供参加2008年11月在雷丁举行的TeenTech 08活动的学生使用。学生们将参加科学精度挑战赛，那些在工作中表现出足够精确度的人将获得由活动赞助商提供的奖励。参赛者不仅将从他们的经验中获得灵感，我们还将借此机会与学生和教师一起试用ISES，以评估其在学校使用的潜力。

This proposal is to produce a unique experience for students to undertake Interactive Screen Experiments as part of a huge School Science Event entitled TeenTech 08 - the brain child of Maggie Philbin - which aims to engage younsters with science at the point where it is known they become disillusioned - ages 12 - 14.At the University of Reading we have installed dedicated specialist equipment and are developing the expertise, unique in the UK, to produce on-line, Interactive Screen Experiments (ISEs) for use by undergraduate Physics students. An ISE allows individual students to undertake an experiment, step by step, as they would in the real world, but manipulating each element using the mouse or a touch screen on their computer. They develop a feel for how the apparatus works and how precise measurements are made. To produce an ISE, many thousands of photographs of the apparatus are taken in a high quality media suite to show every possible permutation and combination of circumstances that could occur in the experiment. This is then controlled by complex coding so that the operator (student) 'plays' the film, backwards or forwards, to observe the experiment in action and to take the appropriate measurements. We plan to use this high quality media apparatus to produce ISEs for students attending the TeenTech 08 event in Reading in November 2008. Students will undertake a Science Precision Challenge and those who demonstrate sufficient precision in their work will be rewarded with an award provided by the event's sponsors .Not only will those attending be inspired by their experience but we will take the opportunity to trial the ISEs with students and teachers to evaluate their potential for use in schools.
