Using PhET Simulations for Science Inquiry: Free, Researched, Web-Based Resources
May 10, 2011 - 8:00PM EDT
Do you want to help your students make sense of science using inquiry? Interactive simulations can help students develop their ideas through life-like investigations and inquiry-based lessons.
The PhET Interactive Simulations project at the University of Colorado provides a free website of research-based simulations that are designed to support student learning through active engagement. We have simulations like Energy Skate Park, Salts and Solubility, Gas Properties, Density, Circuit Construction Kit, and Build an Atom. This webinar will offer an opportunity to explore some of the PhET sims and collaborate with other webinar participants to investigate productive ways to incorporate PhET sims into your curriculum. Also, you will learn how to access lesson plans that PhET team members and other teachers have used and submitted to our Teaching Ideas database.
Join Tom Daccord as he welcomes two special guests for the webinar:
- Trish Loeblein, PhET K12 Specialist and Evergreen HS Teacher
- Kathy Perkins, Director, PhET Interactive Simulations, University of Colorado
