2. Topics • Ashkelon • The education system in Ashkelon • Ort Afridar Ronson High-School fields of studies • Bio-medical studies program

3. Ashkelon • Ashkelon is located 50km south of Tel-Aviv, 70km west of Jerusalem. • Population – 110,000. • Among the oldest cites in the world (5,000 year old).

4. Haifa Tel- Aviv Ben GurionAir Port Ashkelon Jerusalem Ber Sheva Elat Ashkelon

5. The education system in Ashkelon Ashkelon has a diverse education system • 4 comprehensive high schools • 1 comprehensive religious school • 1 “Ort adivi – indastrial scool • School of arts • School of science • A Yeshiva, an Ulpana (religious girls’ school) • An Academic College attended by 5,500 students

6. Integrated Junior school and High school • Servers 2,000 students (1,000 in the junior school, and 1,000 in high school). • Employs 180 teachers and 20 administration employees. • The students arrive from all neighborhoods of Ashkelon.

7. Science study track: Physics Biology Chemistry Ecology Technological study tracks: Information technology Electronics Cad/ Cam Bio-medical studies Ort Afridar High-School Main Academic study tracks: • Criminology • Philosophy • Jewish Studies • Art. • Theatre.

8. Science And Engineering Discipline Biomedical Engineering Activity in online environment Bio-medical studies

9. Developed by ORT Israel for the Ministry of Education. In cooperation with the Bio-Medical engineering faculty of Ben-Gurion University. Under the supervision of Prof. Ofer Barnea (head of the bio-medical engineering department in Tel-Aviv University).

10. Designed for students with high learning abilities in science and engineering. Provides skills needed in the academic field. research independent thinking team work. On-Line environment.

11. Bio-medical studies Fields of studies • Physics , Chemistry or Biology • Engineering Sciences • Integrated projects • Electronics • Algorithmics • Bio-Medical Engineering • The program is based on Analogies Theory.

12. What is Analogies Theory ? • Analogies are fundamental concepts, thought processes or mathematic patterns, used in a variety fields of science. • Learning by analogies helps the student develop a broad perspective of science and technology.

13. What is Analogies Theory ?Examples • Minimum energy • Magnification • Resonance • Waves • Feedback and control • Analysis of the graph gradients (derivatives) • Analysis of the area below a graph (integral) • Exponent expansion rate

14. Bio-medical studies On-Line environment • Completely Interactive • No books are required • Teacher-Student interaction via Internet

16. Activity ExampleMeasuring a walking man motion, and filtering the measurement's noise. Required equipment: • Webcam • Internet • Excel • Videoxp (a video editing software).

17. Phase1:Download the instructions file.

19. Phase 2: Take a video clip of a walking man. • Phase 3: Follow the man’s movement (center and gravity) using Videoxp. • Phase 4: save the movement data on a spreadsheet (time, location, x-axis, y-axis).

20. Phase 4: save the movement data on a spreadsheet (time, location, x-axis, y-axis).

21. Phase 5: Ignore X-axis

22. Phase 6: In order to reduce the ponit’s noise, calculate the average of each 3 sequential points.

23. Phase 7: calc the speed of center

24. Phase 8: calc the acceleration of the center

25. Phase 9: calc the effort invested in the walk.

26. Phase 10: calc the power

28. Summary The On-Line means that were used: • The Internet: download the instructions file. • The Internet: getting a theoretical background. • Web camera • Electronic spreadsheet (Excel).
