Izadi, Dina; Ley, César Eduardo Mora; Díaz, Mario Humberto Ramírez – Physics Education, 2017
Succeeding theories and empirical investigations have often been built over conceptual understanding to develop talent education. Opportunities provided by society are crucial at every point in the talent-development process. Abilities differ and can vary among boys and girls. Although they have some responsibility for their own growth and…

One-Dimensional Collision Carts Computer Model and Its Design Ideas for Productive Experiential Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wee, Loo Kang – Physics Education, 2012
We develop an Easy Java Simulation (EJS) model for students to experience the physics of idealized one-dimensional collision carts. The physics model is described and simulated by both continuous dynamics and discrete transition during collision. In designing the simulations, we discuss briefly three pedagogical considerations namely (1) a…

The Way Balls Really Bounce.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bridge, N. James – Physics Education, 1998
Reviews a simple theory that describes the bounce of an air-filled ball and predicts that the contact time should be independent of the speed of impact. Presents experimental results that disagree with the theory and an alternative model that agrees with experimental results. (DDR)
