This study explored how using computer simulations helped 7th grade students improve their understanding of chemistry. At my school, many students are below grade-level in reading and math, which can make science more challenging. During a 3-week chemistry unit, I used simulations from Amplify and other online tools. These simulations allowed…

Beal, Carole R.; Stevens, Ronald H. – Technology, Instruction, Cognition and Learning, 2011
The goal of the study was to improve high school students' problem solving performance as they worked with IMMEX, an online chemistry problem solving simulation. The intervention included brief text messages added to the simulation to encourage students to reflect on their problem solving strategies and to adopt more effective problem solving…

Improving Students' Problem Solving in a Virtual Chemistry Simulation through Metacognitive Messages
Beal, Carole R.; Stevens, Ronald H. – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2011
Recent assessments indicate that American students do not score well on tests of scientific problem solving, relative to students in other nations. IMMEX is a web-based virtual environment that provides students with opportunities to solve science problems by viewing information resources through a suite of menu options, developing a hypothesis…
