Air-Pulsed Carts and~Modeling Aid$:$ Instruments for Student Model-Based Reasoning

This poster describes two emerging and specialized tools for student model-based reasoning in introductory physics: programmable air-pulsed rolling carts and Modeling Aid. This project extends recent research on student models and modeling in elementary mechanics (Lattery 2016) and explores new ways to teach the nature and content of scientific model building in a university-level physical science course.
