Active learning resources for a course on the physics of music. New and adapted resources such as clicker interactive lecture demonstrations (CILD, in current form, suitable for implementation with Turning Technologies clickers) and lab-type activities.

• 1D Motion Activity
• CILD_SimpleHarmonicMotion
• Speed of Sound Activity
• Slides from my talk on this topic at the Summer 2011 AAPT meeting. Warning! Lots of text, not recommended for most presentations. But I’m hoping the amount of text here will help those who didn’t attend get the gist of what I was talking about.

 

Other resources

• Google Doc for CLASS: A form, implemented by Google Docs, for administering the Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey for physics. Use the form yourself by clicking “File” then choosing “Make a copy…” from the drop-down menu.
• My filing cabinet on comPADRE: A link to items I like and use from comPADRE, a collection of resources for teaching physics.
