What is Wrong? Finding (Intentional) Erros in E&M Simulations

Florida Section of AAPT Event
Nov 07, 2009 in Seminole State College, Sanford, FL

Students often think that if a computer simulation shows it, it must be right. With the power of editable simulations, students interact with a simulation, figure out what is wrong and, in some cases, fix it to be consistent with what they are learning in introductory physics about electricity and magnetism. This workshop uses Easy Java Simulations. Participants are encouraged to bring laptops so they will have the opportunity to try their hand at fixing the simulations.
