Moving Man and Maze Game Simulations Homework

Title	Moving Man and Maze Game Simulations Homework
Description	This is the SIM component of CU Boulder's PHYS1010 second homework set. The simulations used are Moving Man and Maze Game for a total of three questions. This activity was developed in 2003 before most of our research with PhET interviews and before we developed the Inquiry Guidelines. Therefore, the lessons are more directed then we would now recommend. Also, this activity was used in a course with very large enrollment (200+), so many questions are constrained to being multiple choice or numeric for computer grading.
