Charles A. Dana Center: Mathematical Modeling: UNIT 4�Motion
in Activity 4. If the stunt vehicle is fairly small, have students drop it away from the detector to avoid damage to the equipment. However, be sure they change the sign for a , the coefficient of t2, before using it in their model. Warning: If the stunt vehicl...
Liquid Crystal IR Detector
Space Based Astronomy Teacher's Guide, Page 59 Liquid Crystal IR Detector Description: Students simulate the detection of infrared radiation using a liquid crystal sheet. Objective: To experiment with one method of detecting infrared radiation. Materials: Liquid crysta...
Moving Man
Resource Type: Online Activities This applet simulates an activity often carried out with a motion detector and graphing calculator, making graphs of moving objects. In this version, you use the mouse to move an on-screen man, and graphs are generated showing distance, velocity...
