Laboratory Experiments in Physics for Modern Astronomy

Laboratory Experiments in Physics for Modern Astronomy
Author: Leslie M. Golden
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
Total Pages: 586
Release: 2012-11-14
Genre: Science
ISBN: 1461433118

This book presents experiments which will teach physics relevant to astronomy. The astronomer, as instructor, frequently faces this need when his college or university has no astronomy department and any astronomy course is taught in the physics department. The physicist, as instructor, will find this intellectually appealing when faced with teaching an introductory astronomy course. From these experiments, the student will acquire important analytical tools, learn physics appropriate to astronomy, and experience instrument calibration and the direct gathering and analysis of data. Experiments that can be performed in one laboratory session as well as semester-long observation projects are included.

One of the pathways by which the scientific community confirms the validity of a new scientific discovery is by repeating the research that produced it. When a scientific effort fails to independently confirm the computations or results of a previous study, some fear that it may be a symptom of a lack of rigor in science, while others argue that such an observed inconsistency can be an important precursor to new discovery. Concerns about reproducibility and replicability have been expressed in both scientific and popular media. As these concerns came to light, Congress requested that the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conduct a study to assess the extent of issues related to reproducibility and replicability and to offer recommendations for improving rigor and transparency in scientific research. Reproducibility and Replicability in Science defines reproducibility and replicability and examines the factors that may lead to non-reproducibility and non-replicability in research. Unlike the typical expectation of reproducibility between two computations, expectations about replicability are more nuanced, and in some cases a lack of replicability can aid the process of scientific discovery. This report provides recommendations to researchers, academic institutions, journals, and funders on steps they can take to improve reproducibility and replicability in science.

"This book is divided into 5 sections. Section 1 includes two chapters: the first chapter describes the ADI instructional model, and the second chapter describes the development of the ADI lab investigations and provides an overview of what is included with each investigation. Sections 2-4 contain the 17 lab investigations. Each investigation includes three components: Teacher Notes, a Lab Handout, and Checkout Questions. Section 5 consists of five appendixes that include standards alignment matrixes, an overview of the CCs and the NOSK and NOSI concepts that are a focus of the lab investigations, options (in tabular format) for implementing an ADI investigation over multiple 50-minute class periods, options for investigation proposals, which students can use as graphic organizers to plan an investigation, and two versions of a peer-review guide and teacher scoring rubric (one for high school and one for AP)"--

The goal of this book is to introduce a reader to a new philosophy of teaching and learning physics - Investigative Science Learning Environment, or ISLE (pronounced as a small island). ISLE is an example of an "intentional" approach to curriculum design and learning activities (MacMillan and Garrison 1988 A Logical Theory of Teaching: Erotetics and Intentionality). Intentionality means that the process through which the learning occurs is as crucial for learning as the final outcome or learned content. In ISLE, the process through which students learn mirrors the practice of physics.
