Michael Town, Physics teacher at University Prep high school in Seattle, Washington, set an ambitious goal for his students to work on a project with simulations: every student was assigned to build their own simulations to challenge each other’s understanding of constant velocity and acceleration in 1 and 2 dimensions. The experience was deep, rich and open-ended, resulting in a greater variety of responses from students relative to a traditional activity.
Michael is a Knowles Science Teaching Fellow, and holds MS and PhD degrees in Atmospheric
Sciences from University of Washington, and MS in Teaching from Seattle
University.
