Topic • A study of vectors covering mathematical concepts related to mechanics.
Underlying Rationale for Interest • To provide a computerized model that students can manipulate to verify their physical demonstration and then conduct further investigations while changing additional variables • To provide a visual representation of physical data
Modeling Tools • The students will use: • NIH Image – to analyze and take measurements from video of the physical data collection • Stella – to run through the computerized model to verify their results and conduct further investigations • Mathematica – to investigate vectors in 3D
