Hello all,
Following your introduction to the PhET simulations in the previous blog post, it's now time to do some exploring yourself.
Go to the PhET website here: http://phet.colorado.edu/
First click on the button "Play with Sims". Browse the list of different simulations from the subject menu on the left and choose 2 to explore. You may also choose by grade level category for elementary, middle, and high school. You might want to consider choosing a subject that aligns with your grade level content in the new Indiana Academic Science Standards found in this pdf document. These standards will be implemented for the 2011-2012 school year. http://www.indianascience.org/files/standards_03_29_10.pdf
Spend some time working in the simulations. Submit two reflective comments to this blog post one for each sim you chose. Please indicate the names and topics of the two sims you explored. What were your initial impressions of the sims? How did you find the visual interest and maneuverability? Any issues? What further questions developed or came to mind as you explored?
