I have revised several labs based on my teaching experiences this term. The
current set is available by following the "Group Activities" link on the
"Labs" page on the website; the previous set have been moved to the "Labs used
during 2004" link.
Here are the changes:
HILL:
====
* Included the topographic map, rather than making the students draw it.
VALLEY:
======
* Included the topo map.
* Inserted the correct units.
* Removed the step-by-step directions.
WIRE:
====
* Expressed the vector field in both rectangular and polar bases.
* Removed preliminary questions (sketch the field and find dr vector).
While I was at it, I also made minor changes to the "Acceleration" and
"Finding dr" labs, although I personally incorporate these into my lectures,
rather than doing them as group activities. Finally, I took out the "Finding
Potentials" activity, as this is really a quick review of the Murder Mystery
Method rather than a good group activity.
Comments welcome.
