Project Design and Framing Working as a team create an alternative problem statement (Working Backwards Task, Troubleshooting task, Experimental problem, or …) that requires the students to create a computational model as part of the problem.
Working Backwards Tasks Students are given a v vs. t graph and have to construct a computational model that would create the given graph.
Troubleshooting Task Give students a program that has deliberately bad(incorrect) physics and they need to correct the physics in the program.
Experimental Problem Given some data from a rocket launch (position vs time) create a computational model that accurately describes this data. Use the model to predict the behavior of another rocket.
What if anything is wrong Give students a program that may or may not have something wrong with it…... If something is wrong, identify it, and explain how to correct. If correct, explain why.
Conflict Contentions Give students several program that claim to describe the same phenomena, have students determine which program they agree with.
