This is an interactive animation tool that uses the analogy of a dry-cleaning shop to help undergraduate and K-12 students grasp the concept of Buffer Overflow in computer systems. In the animation, customers drop off and pick up their laundry at the simulated shop, which has a series of hangers to provide a concrete mental picture of the sequential computer memory. Students are provided the opportunity to explore various scenarios and to understand at their own pace when buffer overflow causes harm and when it is silently ignored. The tool includes solutions to the buffer overflow problem, such as bounds checking and canary.

Please click the "click" button first to watch the introduction. In Scenarios 1 & 2, buffer overflow causes data to be overwritten. In the Lucky Scenarios 1 & 2, buffer overflow happens but no data is corrupted. In the Safe Scenario, no buffer overflow happens. In the Solutions scenario, the bounds-checking solution to avoid buffer overflow and the canary solution to detect buffer overflow are illustrated. The animation is explained in the following video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfgdwmrjnuo.

Charles Darwin accumulated a tremendous collection of facts to support the theory of evolution by natural selection. One of his difficulties in demonstrating the theory, however, was the lack of an example of evolution over a short period of time, which could be observed as it was taking place in nature. Although Darwin was unaware of it, remarkable examples of evolution, which might have helped to persuade people of his theory, were in the countryside of his native England. One such example is the evolution of the peppered moth Biston betularia.

The economic changes known as the industrial revolution began in the middle of the eighteenth century. Since then, tons of soot have been deposited on the country-side around industrial areas. The soot discoloured and generally darkened the surfaces of trees and rocks. In 1848, a dark-coloured moth was first recorded. Today, in some areas, 90% or more of the-peppered moths are dark in colour. More than 70 species of moth in England have undergone a change from light to dark. Similar observations have been made in other industrial nations, including the United States.

(EN) The resource is a simulation environment where one or several mobile robots compete against each other in order to get the highest possible score for their team. The said robots have a system of differential-drive wheels to move. Their aim is to autonomously collect several targets spread over the playground, bring them back to their base, while avoiding contacts with the opponent robots. Reaching this goal requires developing a controller (coded in C/C++) providing the appropriate voltage to the robot’s wheels, as a function of sensory inputs such as wheel velocity, touch sensors, or beacon detector. Learning outcomes of such a project include velocity control of DC motor, trajectory control, development of path-finding algorithms (optimal path search), avoidance of fixed obstacle and moving opponents, and the development of a high-level strategic decision module. This environment can further be used by the teacher to show concepts related to a mobile robotics class /// (FR) La ressource est un environnement de simulation dans lequel un ou plusieurs robots mobiles s'affrontent afin d'obtenir le score le plus élevé pour leur équipe. Les robots en question utilisent un système de roues à vitesse différentielle pour se déplacer. Leur objectif est de collecter de manière autonome différentes cibles présentes sur le terrain de jeu, afin de les ramener à leur base, le tout en évitant de toucher les robots de l'équipe adverse. Pour ce faire, les étudiants doivent développer un contrôleur (en C/C++) capable de fournir de manière autonome les tensions adéquates aux moteurs du robot, sur base d'informations sensorielles telles que la vitesse des roues, de capteurs de toucher ou de détection de balises. Les compétences de ce projet incluent l'asservissement en vitesse de moteurs DC, le contrôle de trajectoires, le développement d'algorithmes de path-finding (recherche de chemin optimal), l'évitement d'obstacles et d'adversaires mobiles, ainsi que le développement d'un module stratégique de prise de décision. Cet environnement peut également être utilisé par l'enseignant pour montrer en cours les concepts liés au contrôle de robots à roues.

Playground Physics is an iPad and Progressive Web application (app) developed by the New York Hall of Science. The app is accompanied by a supplemental Teacher Guide for middle school teachers. The Playground Physics curriculum is a six-week supplemental physics curriculum, designed to be used alongside any existing science curricula in the middle grades. It includes a teacher guide and student work, and maps to the NGSS and NYSSLS. The curriculum is focused around three different units which each explore a major concept in physics (motion, force and energy) through a specific type of physical play (catching a ball, jumping, swinging).

Playground Physics is particularly well suited to supporting diverse learners because it leverages students’ abilities to playfully ask and answer their own questions to connect academic content to what they notice, describe and analyze about their own individual actions. Additionally, the multimodal nature of the program, which uses videos and images as well as kinesthetic exploration to build understanding, is less text-dependent than more traditional physics instructional materials.
