Randy Caton at Squeakfest 07 - Using Squeak to Teach Physics

Randy Caton made the morning's first presentation demonstrating many Etoys he's developed that effectively demonstrate some of the more challenging concepts in physics. Many of Randy's Squeak projects are used by Nasa for web-based physics teaching. Examples demonstrated include Etoys for falling objects, buoyancy/fluid density, and perspectives in rotating coordinate systems. His work can be seen at http://www.pcs.cnu.edu/~rcaton/squeak.html.
