Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations. (February 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) Project Physics, cover, main text Harvard Project Physics, also called Project Physics, was a national curriculum development project to create a secondary school physics education program in the United States during the Cold War era. Contents [hide] 1 History 2 Course materials 3 See also 4 References 5 External links History[edit] The project was active from 1962 to 1972, and produced the Project Physics series of texts, which were used in physics classrooms in the 1970s and 1980s. The project was centered at Harvard University, but drew from schools and educators from across the country. The directors of this project were: F. James Rutherford, project coordinator (and after completion of the project, professor of science education at New York University); Gerald Holton, professor of physics and of the history of science at Harvard University; and Fletcher G. Watson, professor of science education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Course materials[edit] Project Physics course work was broken into six main subject areas, organized into separate books each called a "Project Physics Text and Handbook" or "Student Guide":[1] Concepts of Motion Motion in the Heavens The Triumph of Mechanics Light and Electromagnetism Models of the Atom The Nucleus The books presented the material from a historical perspective, with aspects of human interest wrapped into the text. The intent was to build a sophisticated conceptual understanding of physics, while not over-simplifying the curriculum. Frequent references to historical works where concepts were first discovered and debated highlighted the drive to make physics a fundamental search for understanding of the universe.[2] The course materials also included readers, tests, and other teaching aids. The course readers allowed students to further explore a topic, and lab exercises enabled students to verify that their understanding was confirmed by experimental outcomes. Special lab equipment, brief film loops, films, and a teacher's guide were also developed.[2] The texts and all other aids are now available for free on the Project Physics Collection web site.[citation needed] See also[edit] Physical Science Study Committee – a preceding alternative approach to teaching physics at the high school level References[edit] Jump up ^ Project Physics Collection at Archive.org ^ Jump up to: a b "High School Reform Projects: Physics". artofteachingscience.org.

James Rutherford is curator of the Project Physics Collection. The materials in the collection were created at Harvard University under the leadership of Rutherford, Gerald Holton, and Fletcher W. Watson. As Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics and Professor of the History of Science, Gerald Holton shaped the intellectual character of the project and its instructional products. His seminal work for undergraduates, Introduction to Concept and Theories in Physical Science, served as a key reference for the project. For more about him, visit Wikipedia. Fletcher Watson, a professor of astronomy at Harvard was prevailed upon by the Harvard president to transform the Graduate School of Education into the nation’s leader is science education, which he did as Professor of Education. His knowledge of every aspect of science education shaped the project’s reform strategy. F. James Rutherford’s contribution to the project derived from nearly ten years of high school science teaching. As a teacher he developed new conceptual approaches to the teaching of physics and chemistry, and created and directed the Carnegie Science-Humanities Project involving six high schools.

Electricity & Magnetism: Experiment with static electricity. How can you create it? How you can reduce it? What substances or objects are the best conductors of static electricity? Do conditions like humidity and temperature increase or decrease static electricity? Make electromagnets with different strengths; compare their magnetic fields using iron filings to find what effect they have on a compass needle and how strong their attraction is (e.g., which one can pick up the most paperclips?). Make a voltaic cell and research which household electrolytes are most effective for producing electricity. How well does a carbon rod instead of a metal rod work as a positive electrode? Can you use a magnet to find traces of iron in food, dollar bills, and other household materials? Make a crystal radio. What indoor and outdoor materials (such as metal poles, a window, etc.) make the best antennas for your radio? Under what conditions, such as temperature, cloud cover, and humidity, does your radio pick up the clearest signals? What types of liquid can conduct electricity? Can electricity be used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen? Experiment with how magnetic and electric fields can make a magnet fall in slow motion. How could this principle be applied to real-world technology, like braking systems on roller coasters? Explore maglev technology (magnetic levitation). Force & Motion: Experimenting with force & motion What are the best shapes for paper airplanes? The best material for propellers? Experiment with thrust and aerodynamic design while launching a rocket. Design an experiment using a rocket car powered by a balloon. Create an experiment showing how well (or poorly) different structures or materials withstand pressure. How do different brands of plastic wrap compare when stretched with equal force? How do different brands of duct or clear tape compare in strength and stickiness? Can you identify what factors cause one to perform better than another? What type of flooring (carpet, wood, tile, linoleum, etc.) creates the most or the least friction? (Younger kids might test this by rolling a ball or toy truck over different surfaces. Older kids can use a spring scale to measure the force of friction. ) Use toy cars or a dynamic cart to test what impact increased mass has on velocity. What are the resulting velocities after a moving and unmoving object collide? What about two moving objects in same or different directions? What type of pulley provides the highest mechanical advantage for a particular job? What types of metal conduct heat the fastest? Do some conduct heat more evenly than others? What types of materials are good insulators? Experiment with how much more energy is needed to catapult a heavier object the same distance as a lighter object. Create a similar experiment with a bow and arrow. Explore centripetal force by designing and building a mini roller coaster and demonstrating the physics behind it. Energy: How does the efficiency of an incandescent bulb compare to a fluorescent? What about LED? How much heat energy do they produce? Compare the effectiveness of different types of insulation. Which keeps out the most heat or cold? Alternative Energy: How could you use a solar cell to recharge a battery? (You’ll need to use a diode and set up a circuit.) How does a solar cell compare to a battery with the same voltage? How would you use solar energy most effectively in your home or school? What time of day tends to be best for charging a solar cell? How does the angle of incidence of light affect the energy output of a solar cell? Use a digital multimeter to measure how much voltage is being produced by the solar cell. What types of blades work best to produce electricity using a wind turbine? Can you create an effective water turbine design? How would you connect it to a generator to produce electricity? Can you test/simulate the environmental effects of producing electricity from steam in geothermal areas? Can different substances (such as vinegar or salt) be used in electrolysis to make hydrogen production more cost-effective? Does increasing the number of electrodes make the process of electrolysis less time consuming or more cost effective? Can different alternative energy sources be used in combination to produce the energy to power a home? Visit our science fair project ideas page for ideas in other categories.
