Harvard Project Physics.
People and particles [motion picture]
Documentary, spanning a two-and-one-half year period during which Harvard University students and faculty members worked together at the Cambridge Electron Accelerator on problems in particle physics. The film traces the work of the participants in the Strauch-Walker experiment as they design, construct, and assemble the equipment to the point where the physicists are prepared to take actual data. It concentrates on the style of work in a lab and on the men and women who are working together rather than on the science of particle physics.
Harvard Project Physics was a curriculum development group based at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA and supported by the United States Office of Education and the National Science Foundation. Its goals were to develop a humanistically oriented physics course by presenting the subject in historical and cultural perspective, help increase high school physics enrollments, and contribute to the knowledge of the factors that influence science learning.
