Description:
Virtual science labs and interactive simulations help students to participate in advanced reasoning without needing a physical science lab or access to water or lab safety equipment.
Details:
These labs are also ideal for struggling learners and those with disabilities. Students are given the opportunity to explore at their own pace, without the peer pressure often found in small-group settings. They can go back, reread directions for clarification, and identify and look up key vocabulary. Students participate in authentic learning as they manipulate variables and record data and begin to analyze and formulate conclusions and think about new ways to tweak the simulation.
