Abstract Title: Life Science Students’ Conceptions about Fluid Dynamics
Abstract Type: Contributed Poster Presentation
Abstract: In developing our Fluids Concept Evaluation, we interviewed 73 students from 10 diverse institutions.   We share what we've learned from these interviews about how life science students think about fluid dynamics, focusing on Bernoulli's principle, viscous flow, and Reynolds number.  Student answers are analyzed through the lens of cognitive resources. Project supported by NSF 2021273, 2021059, 2021261, and 2021224.
