A new simulation, that simulates the free fall of an object (ball). This simulation gives the ability to measure the acceleration of gravity by taking successive shots of the falling object with recording the time of each shot and measuring the coordinate y for each shot. It also enables us to check the famous free fall equation:
y = (1/2) gt²
Looking back, I wish I had access to tools like DeepSeek. During my development process. In my recent experimenting with this open-source AI model, I’ve found it provides structured, research-paper-like responses with meaningful technical information from the first interaction. This would have significantly streamlined my research phase. Definitely, DeepSeek wouldn’t have appeared if ChatGPT hadn’t existed in the first place. But the super abilities that DeepSeek came with as it came into existence, plus being open-source, makes it super competent to the existing AI tools.
توضح هذه التجربة أنه في حالة سقوط جسمين بحرية مع انعدام مقاومة الهواء، ومع إطلاقهما من نفس الارتفاع، فإنهما يأخذان نفس الفترة الزمنية للوصول إلى الأرض. يدل ذلك على أن كلا الجسمين يكتسبان نفس المقدار من السرعة عندما يسقطان
This story always reminds me how much work we still have to do in Lebanon to bridge the gap in technological literacy among educators!
Elementary math teachers know the importance of this model in teaching the concept of applying distributive property in area model.
The idea is to break one large area (which represents the product of two numbers) into several pieces (products of smaller numbers), then to find the areas of the pieces individually, and finally add to get the area of the whole (the product of the given numbers).
That moment stuck with me. It showed me how powerful simulations can be in breaking down complex ideas. It’s the reason I decided to learn how to develop science simulations to make learning easier for others.
Sometimes, all it takes is one moment to change your path!
I created this course and published it on my Moodle platform. Each module is a SCORM package, with a course evaluation survey at the end and a completion certificate.
The course is tracked, and you must successfully complete each chapter to unlock the next one. The course is fully learner-centered.
