Abstract
Physics experiment course in senior high school plays a very important role in cultivating students’ scientific thinking and scientific inquiry ability. However, in teaching practice, due to large experimental error, poor demonstration effect and lack of experimental conditions, it cannot achieve the expected teaching effect. This study integrates the simulation experiment software into the physics experiment classroom in senior high school, in order to optimize the experimental teaching quality and promote the development of students’ inquiry ability. In this study, 45 students from class 5 and 47 students from class 6 of grade 1 in a high school in Beijing were selected as the experimental class and the control class respectively. The demonstration experiment of “synchronous satellite orbit transfer launch” and the exploration experiment of “uniform linear motion” were carried out with the help of simulation experimental software. The results showed the teaching based on simulation experimental software plays a positive role in teachers’ experimental teaching, reducing experimental errors, improving self-efficacy and teaching performance. On the other hand, limited by the simulation experiment environment, the simulation experiment could reduce the trial and error opportunities of excellent students, and affect the development of students’ innovation ability to a certain extent.
Highlights
IntroductionPhysics experiment plays an important role in physics teaching, with the feature of intuitive, vivid and visual, which can help students understand the laws of physics and master knowledge better
This study introduces the “simulation physics laboratory” software, in the virtual space to create experimental situations, to eliminate the air resistance problems that cannot be overcome under real conditions, so that students can summarize the physical laws through independent exploration and thinking
From the three dimensions of students’ learning attitude, physical experiment ability and final score, whether the simulation experiment software applied to the experimental class can improve the students’ learning effect was analyzed
Summary
Physics experiment plays an important role in physics teaching, with the feature of intuitive, vivid and visual, which can help students understand the laws of physics and master knowledge better. Pre Demonstration Experiment Use the “Simulation Physics Laboratory” software to demonstrate the relationship between the drop location and speed of the parabolic on the ground, so that students can intuitively understand the relationship between the satellite’s speed and its trajectory. The students were asked to watch the change of satellite trajectory and demonstrate the relationship between satellite speed and orbit in the pre demonstration experiment. They observed the phenomenon and found that when the speeds were 7.9 km/s, 11.2 km/s and 16.7 km/s, they could show three kinds of motion tracks on the track.
