Designing a programming-based approach for modelling scientific phenomena
2005
Journal of Computer Assisted Learning
We describe an iteratively designed sequence of activities involving the modelling of 1dimensional collisions between moving objects based on programming in ToonTalk. Students aged 13-14 in two settings (London and Cyprus) investigated a number of collision situations, classified into six classes based on the relative velocities and masses of the colliding objects. We describe iterations of the system in which students engaged in a repeating cycle of activity for each collision class:
