Description

Traditional physics of motion laboratories involve air tracks/tables. Activities should facilitate understanding of concepts and represent real-world/authentic activities for engagement. Using a physics-based flight-simulator, X-Plane11, students perceived positive learning outcomes with an authentic engaging activity, with a real-world application.
