摘要: A unit of study for gifted 4th and 5th graders is described on the subject mathematical periodicity chaos underlying physical processes which produce these phenomena. variety hands-on experiments use various data analysis tools computer aids provide students with powerful raw material their analysis, interpretation, understanding. The concepts simple periodic motion (e.g., a pendulum), complex superposition motions vibrations in musical instruments), chaotic sequences stock prices) are covered, numerous practical examples. Opportunities to involve related activities emphasizing language arts, history, graphic art included. student response documented.
