Design And Development Of Middle School Physical Optical Simulation Experiment Platform

Physics is a discipline based on experiments. As an important branch of physics, optics is always one of the most difficult contents of high school physics. Traditional optical experiments in lab environment have rather high requirements, and many experimental phenomena are not intuitive. Therefore, it is difficult for teachers to present vivid experimental phenomena in the classroom. The new curriculum standards advocate to strengthen the physical experiment teaching to improve students’ ability of independent innovation, and require students to regard explore learning as one of the main means of learning, and put forward higher requirements for the teaching of physics experiments.The rapid development of computer technology and virtual simulation technology provides a new ways and means for experimental curriculum reform, and simulation ex periment is becoming an important way to promote experimental teaching reform and in novation. It is very important to carry out the research, development and promotion of virtual experimental teaching software, which is helpful and meaningful in changing the status of experimental equipment lacking, breaking the limitations of time, providing teachers with new experimental teaching aids, avoiding some danger caused by real experiment operations, exploring new experimental teaching modes, and many other aspectsAccording to the investigation and analyzation of the existing physical simulation software at home and abroad, this paper designs and develops a high school physical optics experiment platform based on the combination of other’s successful experience with the actual needs of middle school optical experiments under the guidance of constructivist learning theory.At the beginning of the paper, a requirement analysis of the physical optics experiments was presented, and the optical experiments were classified into three parts, then the overall framework for the system architecture, the dynamic and static UML modeling, and the design Mode used by the system were provided respectively. Afterward, the design of the key classes were elaborated, including the analysis and design of mathematical modeling of physical optics experiments’ core mechanism, and a detailed implementation of system sub-modules. Finally, by demonstrating several typical optical experimental cases, the function of the platform was introduced, and the summary and the outlook of the future research were given respectively.This paper is a pratice to combine the information technology with the subject of high school physics, hoping to provide certain references for the development of other similar discipline tools in the future.
