Activity 1: AirHockey
Students undertake a lab-based activity where the video a set of simple collisions on a toy air hockey table and then replicate them in a simulator – this activity is carried out with the support of a TA, and students are asked to explain why the simulations will eventually deviate, even if the first (and perhaps second) interacts between the disk and the walls are well-modelled.
