My pal, Karen Gwozd-Cornish, told me about this interesting site from the University of Colorado Boulder. PhET is a collection of simulations geared towards students of all ages who can conduct studies, demonstrations and experiments with virtual equipment and machinery. From the site: “As users interact with these tools, they get immediate feedback about the effect of the changes they made. This allows them to investigate cause-and-effect relationships and answer scientific questions through exploration of the simulation.” It would be worth your time to view the video clips offered that explain the program and its foundations.
