INTEGRATING PHYSICAL SCIENCE into 2d-CA Integrating “Computation” into the Understanding of a System
DESIRABLE EFFECTS on IMPLEMENTATION “Joy in Learning” of the Computational Universe The K-12 learning environment can think of the world “computationally”. K-12 kids will enjoy computational experimentation. There is integration of science and the world in these materials. Rules and processes are easily and intuitively understood.
