• Resumen

  • An analogy has been developed to facillitate student understanding of dimensional analysis. An initial presentation of a domino problem acquaints students with a familiar concept of linking one domino to another through a series of dominoes. Extension of the analogy to "unit" dominoes introduces the conceptual linking of one unit to another through a series of unit equivalnets ("unit" dominoes).
