Utilizing Modern Electronics to Enhance Science Education

This project offers innovative teaching materials that leverage modern electronics, such as smartphones, to enhance the understanding of science and engineering principles. Focusing on key concepts like semiconductors, magnetism, and light phenomena, we collaborate with New Haven teachers to develop engaging web pages, presentations, and hands-on kits tailored for high school students. Our workshops provide practical experiences, including disassembling hard drives and exploring how data is stored, while promoting science and technology education.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Teaching materials science using modern electronics Modern electronics, e.g. a smart phone, relies heavily on science and engineering: semiconductors (diodes, transistors), magnetism (hard drives), photoelectric effect (digital camera), photon generation and lasers (LEDs, CD/DVD drives), light polarization (LCD), etc. The immediacy and applicability makes electronics a great tool for teaching science and technology. Together with a New Haven public school teacher, we develop web pages (http://volga.eng.yale.edu/TeachingResources), presentations, teaching modules, lesson plans, and hands-on kits appropriate for high school students and teachers. CRISP has purchased kits for loan to New Haven area teachers at https://www.southernct.edu/crisp/index.php. Our first workshop introducing the material was on March 24, 2010. Web page segment: our own SEM images of CD/DVD surfaces, explanations of how data is stored and read Workshop participants disassemble and examine a hard drive as part of the kit S. Ismail-Beigi, K. Spinka, C. Broadbridge and J. Garofano
