Institutionalizing reform in introductory physics
We examine how the University of Colorado at Boulder has created the sustained the use of a research-based curriculum in the introductory calculus-based physics sequence, despite the significant increases in cost and time commitment. The adoption of the University of Washington Tutorials in Introductory Physics [1] curriculum required significant pedagogical shifts in the students’ role, educat...
متن کاملAddition Laws in Introductory Physics
We propose a unified approach to addition of some physical quantities (among which resistors and capacitors are the most well-known) that are usually encountered in introductory physics such that the formulæ required to solve problems are always simply additive. This approach has the advantage of being consistent with the intuition of students. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, ...
متن کاملPhysics in the Multiverse: an Introductory Review
This brief note, written for non-specialists, aims at drawing an introductive overview of the multiverse issue. Published in: CERN Courier, vol. 47, issue 10 (2007) pp. 13-17 Is our entire universe a tiny island within an infinitely vast and infinitely diversified metaworld ? This could be either one of the most important revolutions in the history of cosmogonies or merely a misleading statemen...
متن کاملUsing the Wiimote in Introductory Physics Experiments
The Nintendo Wii was released by Nintendo in late 2006 and has been widely adopted by the general public since that time. The main component in the success of this videogame console is the use of accelerometers in its controller (known as a Wiimote). We have adapted this device for use in introductory physics experiments. We created a program to obtain acceleration data from the Wiimote and dev...
متن کاملWhy not an e fi l experiment ? An extended exercise for students studying introductory particle physics
We present an extended problem appropriate for students in a semester-long introductory elementary particle physics class. This problem requires them to synthesize concepts and investigative approaches learned throughout the class, directed toward answering the question of why muon-to-electron conversion experiments are proposed, but not electron-to-muon experiments. Although direct electron-to...
