Spreadsheet Numerical Modeling in Secondary School Physics and Biology
Ján Beňačka · e-publications@bond (Bond University) · 2008
The paper gives three examples of numeric modeling with spreadsheets in secondary school (age 15+) physics and biology − free fall in the air, animal population, and damped oscillation. The aim is to introduce the reader to numeric modeling. The simplest numeric methods are used − Euler’s, and the finite difference method. The models enable student to experiment with the inputs and investigate the behavior of the systems.
