Simulations & Modeling

LEARN

Visit the Resources page to view some video tutorials and read various support materials about your chosen tool/strategy to learn how to integrate technology into your lesson. Don't see what you'd like to learn? Please contact Rob Leo, Coordinator of Instructional Technology Training for support.

CREATE

Create a real-world example of whichever tool/strategy you have chosen, transform a lesson plan that integrates your selection, and deploy your lesson with your students.

TOOLS

1. Stop Motion Animator Chrome App
2. Scratch
3. PowToon
4. SketchUp for Schools Chrome App
5. Vectary Website
6. Circuit Lab Website
7. Sim Bucket Website
8. Physics Aviary Simulations

STRATEGIES

1. Task students with demonstrating a dynamic process by creating a stop-motion animation video with tools like Stop Motion Animator, or Google Slides (click link for directions from Eric Curts). Alternatively, students can use PowToon to create animated videos or Scratch to created an animated process through block coding.
2. Task students with creating 3D models using SketchUp for Schools, Vectary, or TynkerCad. Some projects may be able to be exported to a 3D printer.
3. Task students with creating circuit simulations and schematics using Circuit Lab.
4. Select ChemCollective, Sim Bucket, PhET Simulations, Gizmos Simulations, Physics Aviary Lab Simulations and Helpful Tools, or eduMedia simulations and virtual labs to help students visualize scientific concepts and phenomena.
5. Contact Amy Kesey at the CNYRIC to set up an interactive videoconference like a live knee surgery.
