RECENT & PRESENT DEVELOPMENT OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS
"The Development of an Innovative Model for the Preservice Preparation of Elementary Teachers for Enhanced Science, Mathematics, and Technology Training," created a model for the education of future elementary school teachers. The model includes close coordination of courses and studies in the sciences, mathematics and education.
"Contemporary Physics Laboratories for Future Secondary Science Teachers," created a laboratory which concentrated on contemporary concepts in physics and was directed toward future science teacher in the secondary schools.
"Digital Video Interactive, A Case Study in Physics," explored ways to use of digital video in the teaching of contemporary topics in physics. As one of the first attempts at using this new technology, this effort included ways to use interactive video to teach and learn a variety of concepts in physics.
The Physics InfoMall is a CD-ROM containing a large collection of physics resources for use by students and teachers. The information on the InfoMall is the equivalent of 35,000 pages of materials ranging from basic physical constants, to special interest topics, to templates for developing complete lessons.
"Visual Quantum Mechanics," is developing a series of teaching materials to help non-science students learn quantum physics. The materials involves multimedia as well as hands-on experiments with inexpensive equipment. Mathematical formalism is replaced with computer visualization and conceptual understanding.
"The Bicycle in Culture, Technology and Science," is an effort to combine learning materials from several different countries in a coherent package which shows the relations among science, technological change and the culture.
