- Maple Intro: This worksheet covers the basics of using MAPLE and introduces good "hygiene". The student assignment for this worksheet is found on the MAPLE Intro Lab
- MAPLE Data: This worksheet explores how to construct a histogram in MAPLE and use various statistical tools embedded in MAPLE. It also explores overlaying multiple plots and the generation and normalization of gaussian distributions. Their original data is generated in the previous Data and Meaning Lab
- MAPLE Rock: This worksheet explores how we use can use math engines like MAPLE to process models against the data. The students have rock drop data (with wine corks) that they fit various acceleration models to. This is not a formal best fit process but more conceptual. This worksheet also introduces the process by which you would include a velocity dependent drag force into the model and fit it to the data.
- MAPLE Sandbox: I think this worksheet explores air drag in 2D kinematics. The data for this lab is generated during the Sandbox Lab.
- MAPLE Space Station: This worksheet explores the behavior of a "rock" or ball in a rotating space station that hte students design. Helps them explore the differences between perceived behavior and the underlying Newtonian dynamics. The design of the Space Station is guided by the brilliantly named Space Station Lab
