A Practical Guide for Incorporating Computer-Based Simulations into Science Instruction.

Peer reviewed

Windschitl, Mark A. – American Biology Teacher, 1998

Computer-based simulations of scientific phenomena provide learner-centered environments within which students can explore systems, manipulate variables, and test hypotheses. Explains how simulations fit into the big picture of instruction and offers recommendations for developing a written guide for students, determining student accountability,…
