(3) Developing Scientific Literacies in Modelling and Using Simulations
The use of simulations/videos and modelling software can greatly enhance students ability to develop the scientific literacy in modelling and using simulations. The lesson examples given below uses models to create understanding or compares the real world to simulations of theoretical models and create a platform where students can discuss their understanding between the multiple representations.
