Review for:Phet SimulationsIf you used this resource in your own classroom, please add your review. posted: on November 2, 2007 at 8:52PM
My rating of this resource: *****
My experience using this resource: Physics
Topic I was teaching: Force
My learning goal for which this resource was used: To use observations to determine a mathematical relationship between force, mass and acceleration.
Course Level: Honors or Advanced, Intro or Regular, Remedial
How I/my students used the resource: I used this simulation to reinforce the affect of an applied force on a various masses with and without frictrion.
Value Added: Provides visualization or animation, Provides a virtual lab, Provides assessment opportunity, Increases student engagement and motivation
Strengths: Easy to use, web based so students can explore further at home if they wanted to
Weaknesses: none. If you design a worksheet to accompany the simulation there is no weakness.
