This project employs sensing technologies to help transform students' physical actions during play into a set of symbolic (computer) representations in a physics simulation and to engage the children in a developmentally appropriate and powerful form of scientific modeling. The students are in grades K-1 at UCLA's elementary school, and the intervention is based on the existing content unit on Force and Motion. The project creates the following products.1. Software based on existing sensing technologies to display children's actions as they describe, discuss and simulate motions in the Force and Motion unit. 2. A 4-week curriculum module with a teacher's guide to supplement the Force and Motion unit.3. Research conducted on how very young children can use these tools to advance their understanding of force and motion, and how they develop more mature ways of scientific modeling and measurement.

该项目采用传感技术，以帮助学生在玩耍过程中的身体动作转化为一组物理模拟中的符号（计算机）表示，并使儿童参与到发育适当和强大的科学建模形式中。这些学生是加州大学洛杉矶分校小学的K-1年级学生，干预是基于现有的力和运动内容单元。该项目创建以下产品。1.基于现有传感技术的软件，在儿童描述、讨论和模拟力和运动单元中的运动时显示儿童的动作。2.一个为期4周的课程模块与教师的指导，以补充力和运动单元。研究了幼儿如何使用这些工具来提高他们对力和运动的理解，以及他们如何发展更成熟的科学建模和测量方法。
