Drop Zone Dispatch
A heavy parcel and a light parcel. Which arrives first?
The learner experience
A little curiosity. A lasting understanding.
Predict → compare drops in an ideal vacuum and with a stated drag model → explain → plan a delivery using the model → reassess with a new pair of objects.
Imagine this moment
Split-screen drops separate a vacuum case from an air-resistance case.
Learning & evidence
The learning objective
Distinguish the role of mass from the effects of air resistance in falling objects.
What understanding looks like
Initial reasoning, revised explanation, and an independent transfer question assigned later by the teacher. Do not infer a stable misconception from one wrong click.
Adaptation
Different starting points. A shared objective.
Begin with equal-shaped parcels and qualitative predictions; extend to shape, area, and model assumptions.
