Simulations

Online Simulations

• Review 10 or more specific on-line simulations from 2 or more different services (e.g. Explore Learning, PhET, etc) that are relevant to a subject you teach. Provide a 2-3 sentence summary of each simulation and a link to each specific simulation.

  • • Example: States of Matter (PHET)

Developing lessons using simulations

• Develop a CSCS-based activity using an online simulation

  • CSCS activities involve:

    • collaborative (pooled) data analysis

    • continuous formative assessment

    • and/or collaborative resource development

  • Align the activity with NGSS

    • • NGSS alignment for PHET

• Complete the sample simulation-based CSCS activity in class

  • Refraction of Light Investigation
