Interactive Lecture Demonstrations (ILDs) are designed to
enhance conceptual learning in large (and small) physics lectures
through active engagement of students in the learning process. Real
physics demonstrations are shown to students, who then make
predictions about the outcomes on a prediction sheet, and
collaborate with fellow students by discussing their predictions in
small groups. Students then observe the results of the live
demonstration (often displayed as real-time graphs using computer
data acquisition tools), compare these results with their
predictions, and attempt to explain the observed phenomena. ILDs
have been demonstrated through physics education research to
enhance student learning of physics concepts.
ILDs can be used within the traditional structure of an introductory physics course. All of the printed materials needed to implement them are included in this book.
Intended Courses:
· Department: Physics
· Course Name: Algebra Based or Calculus Based
Introductory Physics
· Course Level: Freshman/Sophomore
