Note that these topics do not constitute a performance curriculum in and ofthemselves, because they do not include the mathematics of performance modeling, the input andoutput analysis of simulations, or workload characterization.

The core of this study is a pilot experimentdesigned within the physics lab, where a custom 3D-printed model (referred to as the "flag") isincorporated into the traditional kinematics experiment setup. Data acquisition is then comparedbetween two experimental conditions: with the 3D-printed flag and without it. Tracker©software
