Thanks Caryl The first dimension, 1. Scientific and Engineering Practices gives lots of opportunities Its emphasis on *data collection and analysis and *building and testing mathematical and computational models leads naturally to: * gathering data manually or with external sensors, the camera and microphone * analysing with spreadsheets (Gnumeric or Socialcalc) * building models with TurtleArt, Etoys, Scratch or Physics Dimension 3. Disciplinary Core Ideas There are already Turtle Art models and simulations for many of the ideas http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/TurtleArt#Tutorials * lunar lander * mass spring damper * orbital motion * bouncing turtle Tony _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
