Using the System Schema Representational Tool to Promote Student Understanding of Newton's Third Law
Download full textHinrichs, Brant E. – Online Submission, 2004
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect on student understanding of Newton's Third Law in an introductory calculus-based physics class when a new graphical representational tool called a system schema was used throughout instruction to help visualize objects and interactions between them explicitly. The system schema serves as an…
