Tidal analysis and prediction
Ali Reza Payandeh, Louisiana State University
This activity explores theoretical concepts for student to better understand tides. Students calculate tidal constituent amplitudes and phases with the help of the T_TIDE Matlab software package using observed ...

While Loop Applications using the Newton-Rhapson Method for Polynomials
Matthew Zelisko, University of Houston-University Park
This activity demonstrates the possible uses for while loops in the context of a common numerical method, the Newton-Rhapson method for root finding (sometimes referred to as Newton's method). The problem ...

Superposition and the Stern-Gerlach Experiment
Michael Groves, California State University-Fullerton
This activity is designed to explore the idea of superposition of basis functions used to describe quantum system using the Stern-Gerlach experiment and light as examples.

Stream flow and concentration relationships
Lin Ma, University of Texas at El Paso
This exercise uses field monitoring (stream flow and electric conductivity) and laboratory analytical results (major solute concentrations) to explore the stream flow generation function and relationships between ...

Dropping a Stone from a Bridge
Ali Tabei, University of Northern Iowa
This activity is for a course called Physics 3, which is a complimentary course students take after general physics. The focus is to revisit the concepts using computational techniques or more advance calculus. In ...
