Scientific paper

We describe the implementation of computational modeling in a ninth grade classroom in the context of the Arizona Modeling Instruction physics curriculum. Using a high-level programming environment (VPython), students develop computational models to predict the motion of objects under a variety of physical situations (e.g., constant net force), to simulate real world phenomenon (e.g., car crash), and to visualize abstract quantities (e.g., acceleration). We discuss how VPython allows students to utilize all four structures that describe a model as given by the ASU Modeling Instruction curriculum. Implications for future work will also be discussed.
