Groundwater Movement (Interactive)
- zkiihne 2y agoCool interactive, also +1 for being from my hometown
- r_klancer 2y agoI worked there until 10 years ago and it was quite rewarding. (In fact this interactive uses some of the "lab" framework code I worked on.) The founder was inspired by Concord (Massachusetts)'s history of progressive educational experimentation, going back to the transcendentalists (Emerson, Thoreau). They're based in Concord but they also have a Bay Area office, after merging with the nonprofit org that built CODAP (https://codap.concord.org/ https://codap.concord.org/)
- r_klancer 2y agoYou can gain a lot of intuition for system behavior via particle models like this and their many, many other interactives. I also recommend looking at their library of learning resources that put these interactives into context: https://learn.concord.org/collections https://learn.concord.org/collections
- mnw21cam 2y agoVery nice, but doesn't model pressure.
- serviceberry 2y agoIt also models pumps in a pretty exaggerated way. Two pumps will prevent this basin from ever filling up despite constant rainfall, to the point of creating a concave water surface: https://imgur.com/a/PrYFJtP https://imgur.com/a/PrYFJtP
