Hansen, John A.; Barnett, Michael; MaKinster, James G.; Keating, Thomas – International Journal of Science Education, 2004

In this study, we explore an alternate mode for teaching and learning the dynamic, three-dimensional (3D) relationships that are central to understanding astronomical concepts. To this end, we implemented an innovative undergraduate course in which we used inexpensive computer modeling tools. As the second of a two-paper series, this report…
