| - | - Students use a balloon to represent a particular spherical harmonic's magnitude and phase at different locations on the balloon's surface. | + | - Students draw a particular spherical harmonic's magnitude and phase at different locations on the surface of a balloon, which represents the domain of the spherical harmonic. |
| - | - The entire class wrap-up discussion includes group presentations of each spherical harmonic, allowing students to gain a visual understanding of spherical harmonics. | + | - The entire class wrap-up discussion includes group presentations of each spherical harmonic, allowing students to gain a visual understanding of the roles of $\ell$ and $m$ in the spherical harmonics. |
