About this title

Synopsis

This computer–based lab manual contains experiments in mechanics, thermodynamics, E&M, and optics using hardware and software designed to enhance readers′ understanding of calculus–based physics concepts. It uses an active learning cycle, including concept overviews, hypothesis–testing, prediction–making, and investigations.

From the Back Cover

A Powerful New Way to Learn Physics! RealTime Physics is intended for use in a lab equipped with MBL (micro–computer–based lab) tools (electronic sensors, microcomputer interface, and software for data collection and analysis). It provides a powerful way to enhance conceptual learning while developing quantitative skills. With RealTime Physics the traditional amount of time allotted to labs remains the same, but your students work in a more active, computer–based learning environment. RealTime Physics:

• Offers experiments in mechanics and thermodynamics (electric circuits and optics will appear in subsequent publications).
• Provides activities that invite you to construct physical models based on observations from real experiments.
• Uses a learning cycle of prediction, observation, and comparison based on physics education research.
• Includes pre–lab preparation sheets and homework designed to reinforce critical concepts and skills.
• Is compatible with most MBL hardware and software.
