Innovative Physics Experiments Workshop
For Beginning Physics Faculty*
July 26- - 31, 1998
Workshop
A weeklong workshop will be held to develop innovative and inexpensive =
physics experiments and physics-at-home activities for Freshman level =
General Physics courses. Most U.S. universities offer such courses and =
generally these courses have large enrollments. In order to reduce the =
cost of offering such courses and to provide innovative, hands-on =
laboratory experiments and home activities, we will develop, test, =
evaluate, and disseminate about twenty-five innovative, hands-on physics =
experiments and home-activities to twenty-five beginning physics faculty =
from two-year and four-year colleges and universities. Preference will =
be given to faculty with less than six years teaching experience.
All innovative physics experiments will be field tested by the workshop =
participants. Each participant will select at least ten experiments for =
field-testing and evaluation in his/her courses. All experiments will be =
stored on electronic media and compiled into a book format. Each =
participant will receive copies of the experiments in both formats.
Place Winston-Salem State University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina
Stipend $250 stipend + Experimental Kit + All expenses paid except =
travel to Winston-Salem.
Application Deadline June 30, 1998 or until all slots are filled.
