課程資料
課程重點
- Define the system
- Mark objects, boundaries, directions, interactions and neglected effects.
- Use a decisive diagram
- Construct a force, circuit, ray, field or energy diagram before calculation.
- Test the model
- Check whether conservation laws, field approximations or material assumptions apply.
- Read graphs physically
- Interpret gradient, area, intercept, curvature and uncertainty in context.
- Control quantities
- Track vectors, signs, units, significant figures and proportional relationships.
- Evaluate the result
- Use order of magnitude, limiting cases and dimensions to detect impossible answers.
- Name the principle
- Identify the relevant law, field interaction, wave behaviour or particle process.
- State the change
- Explain what changes, in which direction and under what condition.
- Complete the consequence
- Connect the mechanism to the measured or observed outcome.
- Design for the quantity
- Choose variables, range, repeats and apparatus from the relationship being tested.
- Process transparently
- Show how raw readings become graphs, gradients or derived quantities.
- Evaluate specifically
- Link each limitation to its effect and a practical improvement.
