Physics Objects and Squeak 3.10

Joe Apuzzo
I'm new to the list and have slowly been learning Squeak over the last
few weeks. I want to develop lessons for kids starting in 3rd grade up
to 5th grade ( thus using eToys as the main interface )

I recently came across Phun ( http://phun.cs.umu.se/wiki ) which is a
really great Physics simulator. But it's a toy and lacks the rich
environment that Squeak has for introducing, planning and accomplishing
a "class project".

I know that there is ODECo for Squeak (
http://languagegame.org:8888/ggame/15 ) but
1) It only runs at on 3.7
2) Only has a few objects to work with
3) Does not have settings for friction, density and bounce
4) Does not have the concept of liquid and gas

Therefor is there any work on adding objects to eToys that have Physics
 attributes like those in Phun? If not, is anyone interested?

Yours humbly;

Gnu Joe

Hello Joe,
 
I would check out http://g-24.net/squeak/ode.html . There are some richly developed objects there with wonderful applications to basic physics education.

Gas can be simulated with Kedama which is fully integrated with Etoys.
There are also some other simple implementations of different physics
like Manzana http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2971

Hi,

You can find some projects about moves here.

Dependig the age of the students these projects can be programmed by the students or used as tool to explore moves.

Parabolic move

http://swiki.ofset.org:8000/super/uploads/OlpcParabolicMove.002.pr

Falling Target

http://swiki.ofset.org:8000/super/uploads/OlpcFallingTarget.002.pr

Oscillations

http://swiki.ofset.org:8000/super/uploads/OlpcFallingTarget.002.pr

To get a copy of the interface for a new mobile put the ellipse on the playfield and use green halo handle.

Regards
