Video explaining how to use a gravity lab simulation
Hi everyone, my name is Marta Galán and in this video I'm going to walk you
00:00:00
through my final project for the course Inquiry-Based Learning for Science
00:00:07
Teacher. On the image you can see the blog that we created as a group to show
00:00:12
all the methodologies and everything that we have learned. If you want to
00:00:19
check it out, just go to inquirybasedsciencelearning.wordpress.com. You are more than welcome to serve with
00:00:23
us some new projects and some new experiences for teaching science at high school level.
00:00:32
For my final project, I decided to use a lab simulation that you can find on this webpage,
00:00:40
interactive simulations. They are really good simulations from different physics
00:00:47
and chemistry topics and some other scientific ones. Sometimes it's hard to
00:00:53
find time or to have the equipment to get our students to the lab. Using a lab
00:00:58
simulation you can have the advantages of going to a lab even if you don't have
00:01:04
the equipment or the time that you would like to. The activity that I chose is a
00:01:10
Gravity Force Lab. In this Gravity Force Lab you will have two masses M1 and M2
00:01:17
that you can vary making them bigger up to 1000 kilograms or smaller. You can
00:01:24
also change the distance just pulling them apart or making them closer. At the
00:01:32
top of every mass we can see a small arrow that represents the force, the
00:01:42
vector of the force, the direction, the sense, and also we can see the value of
00:01:48
the force in international system units, newtons. For our students to do this
00:01:54
lab we will need to let them explore a little by themselves, first they learn
00:02:01
how it works, and after that we can allow them to work alone, just setting different
00:02:06
values for the two masses. I have worked with mass 2 500 kilograms and distance
00:02:14
5 meters and varying the value of mass 1. You can just note down the different
00:02:22
values of the force to use them for our representation using some representing
00:02:31
health such as an Excel page. You can see the final data I've got just changing the
00:02:39
mass one, having the mass to add a set value as well as the distance. Our
00:02:49
students can do this and they can also make a graph with this that if they
00:02:56
select them just doing insert is easy to find a graph that represents all this
00:03:05
data we can work a little with it we can for example choose a different design
00:03:16
where we can have an adjust, a linear adjust, so they can use these values to determine the law, the universal law of gravity.
00:03:24
We can also change the data, we can change the units, these are things that they can do alone and that will help them later to process the information.
00:03:38
We can see in the graph that there is a direct relationship between the force and the mass of the object.
00:03:51
We can do the same experience just setting two values for mass 1 and mass 2.
00:04:00
In this case, I'm setting them to 50 kg, both of them.
00:04:09
You can also use these little arrows to make it more precise.
00:04:14
And changing only the distance, so we can note down different values for different distances, make sure you have enough of them, so all the range, 1 meter, 7 meters, 10 meters, so we can at the end have a nice graph with all these values.
00:04:19
As we have done before, we can have our students making a graph with these values in an Excel page.
00:04:43
In this case, our students will find that the relationship is more difficult to plot.
00:04:53
I mean, there is no linear regression that will fit this data.
00:05:00
It depends actually on how much they know.
00:05:05
so we can help them find, adjust the data, like changing them, doing some kind of division,
00:05:08
or we can just help them, giving them the relationship between the two variables when they are not constant.
00:05:17
So we can change the axis, make the graph look a little better, we can have the numbers or not,
00:05:27
so they will find a graph more or less like this.
00:05:35
The good thing about these simulations is that you don't actually need to give the data to your students. They can decide. I want to have this mask, I want to have a different one. They can explore, they can decide the distance.
00:05:38
So anyone can have different data so they can decide and have different data for their representation. I hope you like the simulations. There are also some worksheets that you can work with your students, some explanations written down on a PDF document that you can use if you want to help you prepare this lesson.
00:05:55
That will give you some more information on how to use this activity with the students in your class.
00:06:20
One of the good things about these activities, you can just use that with second-year students,
00:06:30
just to make them realize that mass is a variable as well as distance.
00:06:36
You are talking about gravity force, but you can also use that with higher-level students.
00:06:41
If you want to make them find out their relationship, the mathematical relationship, and you can develop the mathematical model. So, thank you for listening. I hope you will find this activity useful. Bye bye.
