Great use of the sim. I would not say it is unfortunate that you use another convention than the one chosen for this simulation, just different. It is often difficult when we are making the simulations to decide what conventions to use. Sometimes we can add an option to change things like metric or english units. Other times, we find that by offering options, students get confused, so we leave the explanation up to the instructor. Trish   9/22/15

Normally, we hope that there are few directions about how to use the sim, but this particular sim is complicated, so some directions are useful. You balanced your direct instruction with some freedom and had very good reflective questions that encourage the students to make sense and own their learning. Trish   9/22/15
