Abstract:
|
"The beauty of the bicycle
resides in its sincerity. It conceals nothing. All its workings are open
and visible." J. Bertaut (1936) A group of ten physics educators from
six countries are collaborating to produce a set of multimedia
interactive lessons centered on the scientific and cultural aspects of
the bicycle. We are working with students using techniques such as;
digital video capture, Calculator-Based Laboratory measuring tools,
Interactive Physics simulations, MathScripts, etc. to develop
instructional materials. Please attend our project poster session for
direct exposure to the project materials. |
