Finally, students will be allowed to navigate in the 3D space and solverandomly popped out questions related to the question.By clicking different “view” buttons, the software allows student to watch the tower fromdifferent angles to simulate what they feel in real world. Meanwhile, students may adjust theparameters for different A, B spots and the height of the tower to see the changes of θ1 and θ2.The module will prompt student to follow the tutorials to calculate the height and give students Page 22.612.5instant feedback.

advantage of thecontinuum limit of a chain of masses connected by springs is that it is easily comprehensiblefor students and, in addition, many materials respond to small perturbations just as if theywere a system of coupled oscillators. This harmonic oscillator response to perturbations leadsin a continuum model to the appearance of wave phenomena.For the visualization of such wave phenomena, a computer program that simulates a two-dimensional spring-mass system has been developed within an undergraduate student project.The model consists of a rectangular lattice of regularly spaced point masses connected to eachother and to the rigid boundary by a network of massless springs. The force on each mass iscomputed due to its spring connections with

the causes for those differences. Students were then givena pre-assessment to ascertain their present level of understanding of the derivative and theconnectivity to fields in engineering particularly in storm water runoff.The class was divided into three groups to work on separate model simulations. The models werecreated using 11 in. x 14 in. x 3 in. cooking trays. Each tray represented a different watershed(urban, suburban and rural) and was lined with pea gravel and one inch deep play sand. A layerof one inch top soil was also added to each tray. The rural model was topped with grass; mossand hay over the soil, toy farm animals and a barn were added for effect. The suburbanwatershed was made to appear like a suburban neighborhood with a

Studies in chemistry education demonstrate the promise oftactile models and computer simulations to help scaffold students’ development of RC [15], [16].We have leveraged the relatively recent boom in 3D printing technology to create physicalmanipulatives to use in the integral calculus classroom. These tactile tools are designed to beused in conjunction with activity sheets, and help provide a concrete focal point for students to“get their hands dirty” while investigating the concepts being learned. Our intervention aims tohelp students become more aware of the different representations in ideas through the use of
