This kinesthetic activity is designed to help upper division undergraduate students visualize "straight" lines on a rotating object. Students work in pairs and attempt to draw straight lines on a rotating balloon. The entire class wrap-up discussion includes students sharing their work, opening up the classroom for a conversation on trajectories of objects in a rotating reference frame.
This material is part of the Paradigms in Physics project at Oregon State University. This work promotes the use of active student learning in upper division physics courses. Both learning materials and learning strategies are provided to help both students and instructors.
