<u>{{font color|brown|'''Using simulations to learn science'''}}</u><br>
{{font color|brown|In this activity, you will get introduced to how to use simulations to explore a topic in science, as a virtual experiment.}}

===Objectives===
#Understanding the importance of experimentation in science
#Developing an understanding of simulations and how they work
#Developing a communication based on a simulation completion

===What prior skills are assumed===
#Familiarity with the ICT environment
#Ability to work with multiple applications
#Being able to create text documents, concept maps and graphics communication

=== What resources do you need ===
#Computer lab with projection
#[[Learn Firefox|Access to internet]]
#Handout for [[Learn Ubuntu|Ubuntu]]
#Handout for [[Learn PhET|PhET]]

=== What digital skills will you learn ===
# Working with interactive environments like simulations
# Taking screenshots of simulation applications
# Creating an experiment log with simulation details, observations and conclusions

=== Description of activity with detailed steps ===

==== Teacher led activity ====
Watch the following three resources that your teacher will demonstrate in the class. Discuss, in small groups, and share with your teacher what is the difference between each of the three resources.

|}
In particular, discuss with your teacher and the class how simulations are different.

Your teacher will demonstrate the following to you:
# Opening a simulation (Force)
# Changing the parameters
# Taking screenshots of the virtual experiment at different points and with different parameters
# Analyse what is happening and record your understanding
# Create a text document with screenshots of the simulation and discussion of the experiment

==== Student activities ====
# Your teacher will give you the following simulations
## Color vision
## Friction
## Sound
# In groups, you can work with the simulations and also answer the questions given.
# You will create a text document which contains a description of the experiment as you have simulated it

=== Portfolio ===
# Your text document with the description of the virtual experiment you have done
# Your folder with screenshot images of the simulations you have run
