Learners' understanding and thinking about acceleration

Some examples from ECLIPSE of what students have said relating to acceleration:

Acceleration is like string: an example of a student-generated simile from the ASCEND enrichment project.

Acceleration is like a holiday: an example of a student-generated analogy from the ASCEND enrichment project.

This is just one of a wide range of science topics that learners have talked about in ECLIPSE projects.
