Allwood, Dan A.; Dean, Julian; Bryan, Matthew T.; Baker, Alan – Physics Education, 2009
Finite element modelling software has been used to allow secondary school students to study nanoscale magnetic materials for hard drive recording applications. The students were introduced to the basic concepts of finite element modelling using a freely available internet game before modelling the magnetization reversal of single magnetic grains.…

LoPresto, Michael C.; Jacobs, Diane A. – Physics Education, 2007
In this exercise the US Standard Atmosphere is used as "data" that a student is asked to model by deriving equations to reproduce it with the help of spreadsheet and graphing software. The exercise can be used as a laboratory or an independent study for a student of introductory physics to provide an introduction to scientific research…
