论文摘要
暗物质是当时最有趣的科学奥秘之一,为高中的物理教育提供了令人兴奋的教学机会。该主题可能会吸引和激励学生进入课堂,并允许解决粒子物理学标准模型的开放问题。尽管暗物质的经验证据与许多物理课程的许多标准主题息息相关,但教师可能会发现在教室中介绍该主题是一项挑战。在本文中,我们提出了一种有趣的新方法,以使用果冻镜头作为引力镜头的教学类比,以教授暗物质。我们简要概述了暗物质的历史,以使我们的演示文稿进行上下文,并讨论果冻镜头类比的教学潜力和局限性。
Dark matter is one of the most intriguing scientific mysteries of our time and offers exciting instructional opportunities for physics education in high schools. The topic is likely to engage and motivate students in the classroom and allows addressing open questions of the Standard Model of particle physics. Although the empirical evidence of dark matter links nicely to many standard topics of physics curricula, teachers may find it challenging to introduce the topic in their classrooms. In this article, we present a fun new approach to teach about dark matter using jelly lenses as an instructional analogy of gravitational lenses. We provide a brief overview of the history of dark matter to contextualise our presentation and discuss the instructional potential as well as limitations of the jelly lens analogy.
