Breaking Down the Exercise

Elements

What are the elements of the exercise? Let's take a look:

1. Five mini-experiments to conduct
2. The same three objects for each mini-experiment
• eraser
• penny
• ruler
3. Miscellaneous stuff to be determined (there's always miscellaneous stuff to be determined)
4. Learner preferences to address
1. Visual
2. Aural
3. Read/Write
4. Kinesthetic

Flash Terms

Flash, like any piece of software, has its own terms. Let's see what some of the elements from above are called.

1. Each mini-experiment may be thought of as a "scene"
• Scenes are made up of "layers"
2. All mini-experiments or "scenes" combine to make a "movie"
3. Objects are "symbols"
• When used in a "scene" the "symbol" becomes an "instance"

Let's start working with Flash to see these elements in action on "Torques and Moments of Force."
