Hi, all.
Have just created this ticker tape time simulation. My students always have difficulty understanding this and it does not help that I have only 1 ticker tape timer in class!
Hopefully, this ticker tape timer simulation will help them to gain a better understanding in kinematics by letting them "play around" with it.
Design Features:
(1) Allow the student to change velocity, accleration
(2) Diagram and values (multiple representation to reinforce the understand)
(3) Pause at every "stamp" to let the students "think hard" on what is happening
(4) Allow the students to change the accln and velocity anytime (as in the real ticker tape timer)
Embed a running copy of this simulation
Embed a running copy link(show simulation in a popuped window)

- Please feel free to post your ideas about how to use the simulation for better teaching and learning.
- Post questions to be asked to help students to think, to explore.
- Upload worksheets as attached files to share with more users.
Let's work together. We can help more users understand physics conceptually and enjoy the fun of learning physics!
