How can I design an effective in-class student worksheet for PhET simulations?
June 28, 2016 by Yuen-ying Carpenter and Stephanie ChasteenPhET simulations are free, online interactive simulations for teaching and learning science. In this document, we will discuss using PhET in a guided worksheet; a strategy which has been found to support student learning. But how do we help students use the questions and the simulation to think about the physics, or to practice new skills – not just focus on getting to the end of the worksheet?
