Feature: Word document allows for change of size,
  simulation allows for zoom in/out 
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
Feature: Could provide screenshots depicting what is to be
  accomplished 
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
Barrier- could use Text to speech program 
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
  
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
Feature: Vocabulary was covered prior to simulation. Could
  introduce vocab cheat sheet 
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
Barrier- no transition words are highlighted or related to
  previously learned material 
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
Barrier- no clarification is available, could have list of
  key terms included 
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
Barrier- no information provided in another language.
  Simulation only in one language 
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
Feature: Could allow students to provide visual clues when
  explaining a concept or reasoning. 
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
  
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
Feature: Before the lesson is taught students already have
  completed the outline for this unit and use of warm-up to make sure they are
  prepared for the lesson 
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
Feature: Questions at the end summarize the big ideas,
  tables also emphasize what the big idea is.  
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
Feature: Tables are given, and then students are asked to
  make a relationship based on the information in the table.  Barrier- could show students how to use a
  computer application to do a linear regression 
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
Feature: Students are asked at the end of the lesson which
  will hit the ground first, a bullet shot horizontally or one dropped from the
  same height? (Ans. Neither, they hit at the same time).  Students are expected to incorporate free
  fall material learned before this lesson. 
  Barrier- to have a better discussion as how this relates to the
  previous lesson.

Feature: The computer does the
  recording to time and distance 
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
Barrier-  no such alternatives are present in the
  lab/classroom 
 |

Feature: Students could use
  screenshots to respond, could have students tweet responses in to a
  discussion 
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
Feature: Can use word-processor to
  check spelling, also could use paint to depict drawings. Simulation uses Java
  so students have to navigate that.  
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
Barrier- Lesson is not differentiated. 
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
  
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
Feature: Students are asked to
  complete three experiments where in each experiment they track different
  information 
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
Feature: In the introduction to
  each experiment I ask students to think about what they are going to try and
  collect during each step and what the reasoning might be. 
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
Feature: Table provided to collect
  data sets 
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
Feature: The simulation tracks the
  progress of the projectiles so students can easily compare data 
 |

Feature: The learners can provide written responses or use
  a screen picture to show their findings 
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
Feature: The simulation has a game feel to it where
  students can aim at the statue and a bulls-eye for targets  
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
Feature: NO real use of cannons is involved, students use
  computer simulations.  No noise and
  website is very focused at the task and no advertisements are present 
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 | 
  
  
 | 
  
  
 | 
 
  | 
 |

  conclusions in which they are expected to restate the goals and how they met
  them  
 |

Barrier- The lesson is not differentiated to the level
  that it could be.

  | 
 | 
  
Feature: Students are asked to work in pairs or small
  groups 
 |

  | 
 | 
  
Feature: Students are asked to complete a write-up or
  summary after each experiment where they identify patterns and where they
  might have gone wrong.
