NCLT [re:]mix Scaling
Course Title: Conceptual Physics w/ Modern Physics & Thermodynamics Grade Level: 11-12 Class size: 16 Culver is a college preparatory independent boarding school with a student population of 776 students located in Northwestern Indiana.
Scaling Timeline The Very Large The Very Small 7 - 85 Minute Periods Macro Micro Nano
Scaling : NCLT Related & Adapted Curricula • Powers of Ten (related) • E/M Waves (adapted) • Approximating the Bandgap of an LED (related) • Harkness AFM/SEM Discussion (adapted) • ND Lecture & AFM measurement (adapted)
Student & Faculty Feedback Student – “I believed the AFM demonstration was the most interesting because the picture produced from tapping was so clear on the screen. It was also fascinating know that the cantilever was tapping but we were not able to see it at all.”
End of term course feedback Evidence of Learning Successful synthesis of AFM use with how it works through dominant forces (electrostatics) Successful approximation of bandgap of LEDs and connection between bandgap and doping Successful analysis of critical thinking questions from cplab08s.
NCLT 2.0 • Discuss metals, semiconductors & insulators as precursor to e/m waves, atomic theory & bandgap concepts • Integrate computer modeling for better visualization of nanoscopic phenomena
