Introduction
Physicalization, also called physical visualization has interesting potential in education. We may distinguish two main lines of interest:
- to demonstrate a principle or emphasize structure in data
- to have students create visualizations so that they engage in learning processes.
We can distinguish several technical types of visualizations
- Fixed passive models, e.g. a molecule or a solar system or an artistic representation of data
- Dynamic models (mechanical or electronic)
- Token-based models (e.g. assembled Lego pieces)
