台灣社會環境的改變以及高科技業的蓬勃發展,使得大眾科學教育的角色日趨重要。我們在本計畫中,引進科學演示的教具來增進大眾科學教育的效果。此類既具的特色是有趣及高互動性。相信可以增加大眾科學教育的效益。我們預計開發的項目有:「雙珠競走」、「猴子與獵人」、「最快曲線」、「隨意秤」、「質心謎題」、「蛇擺」、「喝水鳥」、「旋轉液面」、「骨牌與連鎖反應」、「二維碰撞」。這些教具將具備功能性、操作性、複製性、攜帶性、簡單有力、低成本等特性。 Due to the change of social environment and the thriving development of Taiwan’s high-tech industries, we see more and more demands of popular science education. We would like to introduce physics demonstrations to fulfill the requirement. The demonstration units built in this work will be both interesting and interactive. We believe that an interactive learning process is effective and creative. We plan to finish ten units in this project as shown hereunder, the “racing ball”, “monkey and hunter”, “brachistochrone”, “center of mass – hinged stick paradox”, “Roberval Balance”, “pendulum wave”, “drinking bird”, “rotating fluids”, “Domino and Chain reaction’, “2-D collision”. The goal of this project is to built demonstration units to be well-functioned, easy-to-perform, easy-to-copy (therefore, easy-to-popularize), easy-to-carry, simple but persuadable, and cost-oriented. 研究期間:9607 ~ 9612
