Transfer project / Physics
Orbital model audit
Construct a computational orbit model and write an evidence record for timestep error, conservation, and validity limits.
Brief
Create a reproducible artifact that another learner can inspect without access to your private workspace. State the question, choose a bounded source set, document decisions, and preserve failed checks alongside the final result.
Concepts in transfer
Motion and interaction — Describe motion first, then explain changes in motion through interactions.
Energy and conservation — Track change with a ledger that remains stable across different mechanisms.
Fields, models, and limits — Use fields to describe local influence and treat every physical model as a scoped approximation.
Rubric
- The system boundary and assumptions are explicit.
- Every external claim has a source record.
- Deterministic checks can be repeated.
- Limitations describe a real failure regime.
- The final explanation distinguishes observation from inference.
Responsibility record
This is an open project prompt, not a grade, certificate, or credential. A synced private workspace will remain learner-owned; public sharing is always an explicit separate action.
