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帮助学生将游戏过程中的身体动作转化为物理模拟中的一组符号（计算机）表示，并让孩子们参与适合发展的强大科学建模形式。这些学生是加州大学洛杉矶分校小学 K-1 年级的学生，干预措施基于现有的力和运动内容单元。该项目创造了以下产品：1。基于现有传感技术的软件，可显示儿童在力和运动单元中描述、讨论和模拟运动时的动作。 2. 为期 4 周的课程模块，配有教师指南，以补充力和运动单元。3.研究对象是幼儿如何使用这些工具来增进他们对力和运动的理解，以及他们如何开发更成熟的科学建模和测量方法。
