You've just missed it!

Mr Dyers was teaching his usual grade 12 class when I entered his room. "You've just missed it!" he said excitedly shoving his activity on Motion under my nose. His grade 10s just did an investigation on Motion with Constant Acceleration. They had to do the research question, the hypothesis, planning etc, etc. Instead of using equipment, they used the Java Applets by Walter Fendt to collect data. The visual graphs made learners think about its construction and interpretation. It went well.

"If we have more software like this, just imagine how far we can go!" he mentioned, trying to twist my arm for more software. He is very grateful using the Freeware provided, but he is setting his eyes on something bigger. As they are using TRAC from Stellenbosch University too, maybe other instructional devices to get his learners to do even better.
