Combining computational modeling with real-world data analysis.

Unit Overview

1. Ink spread in water
Task 1: How does ink spread in water?
Create a model
Task 2: Como a tinta se dispersa na água?
Create a model
Task 3: How does ink spread in water? [Cyprus]
Create a model

Description

Students investigate and model how and why ink spreads at different speeds in more quickly in hot and than cold water. They will analyze experimental data and program a MoDa model to explain the trends. The MoDa model will be based on video data from the experiment.
