Did they enjoy learning?
Q1. Is the exercise challenging for you?
Yes : 100%
The thinking part as there were many considerations to place in mind.
The problem is rather interesting and challenging.
Did they enjoy learning?Q2. What do you like most about the activity?
I get to be an architect.
Learning through doing.
Well, the simulators were quite fun to play with, and the topic itself was very interesting, I mean they're roller coasters! Thus i was more enthusiastic about the whole topic itself.
Interactive roller coaster simulation.
Did they enjoy learning?Q2. What do you like most about the activity?
I liked the videos and slides provided on "Read- The Physics of RC" page. The videos and slides were very interactive and i was able the understand the topics well.
The group work
The idea of delving into roller coaster physics is a practical idea with fun in it.
It is creative and it extends beyond the normal curriculum of just reading notes and writing on paper.
Impact on Learning
