Scientix - The community for science education in Europe

I agree: I have used many simulations from the Inspire project and my students love working with them. One big advantage is that the main keywords for each suggested activity are in many languages, including Catalan!

I agree, Tsetsa. At my school I teach at different levels of science and I do not have much laboratory time but I have used online simulations and the students seem to really enjoy the simulations. I have thought about incorporating them as a pre-laboratory activity, with the students using the simulation and answering some questions before coming into the laboratory and having thereby some hands-on experience. Do you have any experience with an approach like this?

Hello Dora,
The creation of a problematic situation helps students to reach the appropriate conclusion is very important to build their technical thinking. As we are computer school for my students is very important to have technical phinking. I use simulations and "quality problems".
