摘要:

This note contains instructions for a quartet off experiments performed by my upper sixth students during their study of quantum mechanics. They provide a useful complement to the standard experiment to measure Planck's constant with a photoemissive cell. In each case, at the reviewer's insistence, I have included some sample data to encourage you to try out the experiments for yourself!

摘要:

In the last issue ofElectronics Education, I outlined the necessary elements to a philosophy of ‘thinking safe’ in electronics project work. In this second article, I want to examine some of the practical implementations of this philosophy. The section headings in this article are based on the check-list given at the end of the previous article.

摘要:

I have spent a year between school and university working for Racal Recorders. Racal produces sophisticated tape recorders, including instrumentation recorders such as the V-Store and Storehorse, which are used in scientific research, aerospace, medical and manufacturing applications. This article outlines one of the projects that I completed during my during my preuniversity year.

摘要:

Victoria Brown is a pupil at Penicuik High School. When she was 11 years old, Vicky had a leg amputated below the knee. She therefore has direct experience of the drawbacks of current designs of artificial legs; that experience gave her the idea for her final year project in Standard Grade Technological Studies.With the encouragement and assistance of Jim Cassidy, principal teacher of technology at the school, her design was then entered for the Young Inventor of the Year Competition, funded and organised by the Rotary Club of Great Britain. Vicky won the Scottish heats and then went forward to compete in the national finals. She did not win but her project was highly commended by the judges.

摘要:

The SATIS (Science and Technology in Society) project supplies teachers of GCSE ‘A’ and level science with excellent teaching support material. Initiated by the Association Science Education, SATIS materials are sponsored and aimed at putting science and technology into context. Many of these contexts are social, industrial, agricultural or in health and safety.The project has now been extended to produce material for Key Stages 2 and 3 (8–14). SATIS does not generate ‘off-the-peg’ or ‘instant hand out’ material; rather, it provides teachers sources, ideas and tried techniques to enliven their own teaching with real examples situations.SATIS materials are a shelf resource, photocopiable and flexible. Although they do not to deliver the National Curriculum for science and technology, will enrich work in both. SATIS units are lively and interactive; they stimulate group work and co-operation and are applicable across the curriculum. Many teachers ‘cut and paste’ SATIS materials to suit their pupils.The units in SATIS 8–14 are presented in parts. Each part is a single activity and can be tackled alone or used to supplement other activities. The units have both radio/audiotape and television/video tape components and a SATIS disc, to enrich and extend the printed materials

摘要:

When science teachers come together to consider the new curriculum, ‘investigations’ and ‘information technology’ frequently come into the conversation. These two issues have been brought together in an interesting way in the work of a school involved in the Northern Ireland-based PLAIT Project.

摘要:

Like many other schools, Ballakermeen High School, a mixed 11–18 1200 pupil comprehensive, was faced with the problems off devising and developing a technology curriculum for Key Stage 3. This article describes the philosophy that was adopted towards technology teaching and outlines one Year 7 scheme of work that has a major electronics content.
