The simulation beeps each time the ball passes one of the vertical red lines. Just like the bells on Galileo's ramp, the positions of three of the vertical red lines can be adjusted. The first line and the last line are fixed in place, but the sliders allow you to adjust the positions of the second, third, and fourth lines. Move the lines around until the beeps occur at regular time intervals (make sure the sound is on, on your computer or mobile device).

The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"Early-onset knee osteoarthritis is commonly observed after ACL reconstruction, and may be attributable to residual abnormal joint mechanics following surgery. Graft tunnel placement is a surgical factor that may affect internal knee joint mechanics, and thereby joint health. In this study, researchers from the University of Wisconsin used a combination of MRI and computational modeling to assess the consequences of graft placement on the loading of cartilage in the knee. The findings, reported in the _American Journal of Sports Medicine_, highlight the aspects of graft placement that surgeons should most closely consider to restore normal mechanics during ACL reconstruction. MRI measurements were performed to assess the ACL tunnel location and graft angle in the knees of 18 participants who had undergone ACL reconstruction. A clinical laxity test was performed on each subject following the completion of post-surgery physical therapy..."

Greenway Motors is a useful exercise to introduce students to key negotiation concepts such as the best alternative to a negotiated agreement (BATNA); the worst alternative to a negotiated agreement (WATNA) and the zone of possible agreement (ZOPA). It can also be used to discuss the principled negotiation framework, which allows students to move from a positional approach towards creating opportunities for mutual gain and value creation. This simulation has a large ZOPA, allowing for a range of outcomes.

Students use a hurricane tracking map to measure the distance from a specific latitude and longitude location of the eye of a hurricane to a city. Then they use the map's scale factor to convert the distance to miles. They also apply the distance formula by creating an x-y coordinate plane on the map. Students are challenged to analyze what data might be used by computer science engineers to write code that generates hurricane tracking models. Then students analyze a MATLAB® computer code that uses the distance formula repetitively to generate a table of data that tracks a hurricane at specific time intervals. Students come to realize that using a computer program to generate the calculations (instead of by hand) is very advantageous for a dynamic situation like tracking storm movements. Their inspection of some MATLAB code helps them understand how it communicates what to do using mathematical formulas, logical instructions and repeated tasks. They also conclude that the example program is too simplistic to really be a useful tool; useful computer model tools must necessarily be much more complex.

"For more than 5,000 years, metals and alloys have been formed in roughly the same way—propelling civilization from the Bronze Age to the Industrial Revolution and to the Aerospace Age. Now there’s a new technique on the horizon that could help us take another big leap forward. It’s called high-entropy alloying, and the latest Focus issue of the Journal of Materials Research showcases scientists’ and engineers’ latest efforts in understanding high-entropy alloys and their potential applications. Traditional physical metallurgy uses an element with attractive properties as a base, and adds small amounts of other elements to improve those and other properties. Over thousands of years, various elements have been used as the base: first copper, then iron, then one by one across the periodic table, until researchers developed the first titanium alloys in the 1950s. It’s a method that’s proven incredibly effective. But there are signs that the approach may be reaching its natural limit..."

In this kinesthetic activity, the concept of energy budget is strengthened as students conduct three simulations using play money as units of energy, and students serve as parts of a planetary radiation balance model. Students will determine the energy budget of a planet by manipulating gas concentrations, energy inputs and outputs in the system in this lesson that supports the study of climate on Mars, Mercury, Venus and Earth. The lesson supports understanding of the real-world problem of contemporary climate change. The resource includes a teacher's guide and several student worksheets. This is the second of four activities in the lesson, How do Atmospheres affect planetary temperatures?, within Earth Climate Course: What Determines a Planet's Climate? The resource aims to help students to develop an understanding of our environment as a system of human and natural processes that result in changes that occur over various space and time scales.

The flow or discharge value in a river does not mean much to a lay person or a decision maker because this flow can be insignificant on a big river or can be dangerous on a small creek. Thus, we must know how to translate this flow value into the water depth, velocity, and the corresponding extent to understand its impact. The objective of this unit is to perform hydraulic modeling on a reach of Wabash River near Lafayette, Indiana, to estimate water surface elevation and extent corresponding to a 100 year flow. Students will learn the basics of hydraulic modeling using HEC-RAS to simulate the flow hydraulics using one-dimensional steady state assumption. The outcome will be the inundation extent corresponding to the 100-year event along the reach of the Wabash River near Lafayette, IN. Make sure you have HEC-RAS available on school or personal computers prior to the start of the unit.

This course introduces students to methods and background needed for the conceptual design of continuously operating chemical plants. Particular attention is paid to the use of process modeling tools such as Aspen that are used in industry and to problems of current interest. Each student team is assigned to evaluate and design a different technology and prepare a final design report. For spring 2006, the theme of the course is to design technologies for lowering the emissions of climatically active gases from processes that use coal as the primary fuel.
