Reviews
- How did you use this material?
The material was used to teach students in a Physical Science course the gas lasws and concepts in buoyancy and density.
- Did you augment the material?
The material was augmented with a worksheet, which guided students through the simulation. For exampled, the students were asked to observe what parameters changed and how if one was held constant.
- In which courses or programs did you use the material?
The material/simulation was used in an Physical Science, which consisted of students in grades 10-12.
- Clarity
No written content was included for this item.
- Consistency
Yes, the language in the simulation was correct and consistent.
- Content Errors
No errors were found in the simulation.
- Interface
Everything worked properly.
- Suggested Changes
If the top of the container were allowed to pop off when the pressure got to high that would be neat.
- Exemplary Features
The graphics were very good.
The options and ease of use were excellent.
