(Liz - Spring 2016) The parameters for this activity were very confusing to me. The puck always starts at the equator. Specifying the latitude and the angle instructors the puck to intercept that line of latitude with that angle. The instructors that the latitude parameter is the initial angle of motion is incorrect.

Also, the compile time for the simulations is long - so it's difficult to play and test the parameters quickly.
