Benz, Gregor; Buhlinger, Carsten; Ludwig, Tobias – Physics Education, 2022
With the availability of educational digital data acquisition systems, it has also become possible in physics education to generate 'big' data sets by (a) measuring multiple variables simultaneously, (b) increasing the sample rate, (c) extending the measurement duration, or (d) choosing a combination among these three options. In the context of…

Cardona Zapata, Mónica Eliana; López Ríos, Sonia – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2022
Experimental activity in the physics teaching can be considered as a space in which teachers create contexts for students to approach the way scientific knowledge is constructed. In this sense, the strategies for the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the context of science education, has a wide potential to guide…

LoPresto, Michael C. – Physics Education, 2016
What follows is a description of the procedure for and results of a simple experiment on the formation of impact craters designed for the laboratory portions of lower mathematical-level general education science courses such as conceptual physics or descriptive astronomy. The experiment provides necessary experience with data collection and…

Phares, Alain J.; Durnin, John H. – Technology, Instruction, Cognition and Learning, 2016
Dimensional Analysis (DA) is shown to play a pivotal role in the teaching of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). This article summarizes the basic rules and corollaries of DA and addresses (1) the importance of using DA with mathematical functions; (2) how to use DA in a science/engineering laboratory based discovery approach;…

Amrani, D. – European Journal of Physics, 2010
This pedagogical activity is aimed at students using a computer-learning environment with advanced tools for data analysis. It investigates the relationship between the coefficient of restitution and the way the heights of different bouncing balls decrease in a number of bounces with time. The time between successive ball bounces, or…

Norton, Thomas W. – Physics Teacher, 1974
Presents some examples of using college, university, industrial, and governmental raw data to conduct physics classroom experiments and activities. Indicates that the approach has the advantages of making the student work publishable and of motivating the student to improve the quality of lab reports. (CC)

Olds, Dan W. – 1973
A time-sharing FORTRAN program is described. It was created to allow a student to design and perform classical thermodynamic experiments on three models of a working substance. One goal was to develop a simulation which gave the student maximum freedom and responsibility in the design of the experiment and provided only the primary experimental…
