Online Simulations

We did not have face to face class on Tuesday, November 18. Instead, we were asked to look at and engage in online simluations about electricity and magnets. I thought the simulations were very interesting because there were so many different ones to explore in. When teaching these concepts to students in the classroom, interactive simulations would be a great way to engage students in what they are learning. Some students will not be able to grasp and understand the concepts in science but these simulations could help those students relate science material to real life sitations and be able to interact with what they are learning. Very cool.
