PhET Simulator
PhET simulations offer engaging, interactive simulations based on scientific findings for use in STEM teaching. PhET simulations employ images and simple controls like click-and-drag operations, knobs, and dialog boxes to portray what is unseen to the eye in order to aid students in visualizing topics. The simulation also provides measuring tools like meters, stop clocks, manometers, and thermostats to stimulate numerical inquiry further. Kindergarten students might investigate the forces at play when pulling against a cart, and moving a refrigerator, box, or person in a simulator to better understand the science subject by examining motion & stability, forces & interactions. Developing an applied force and showing the students how it interacts with items might also help them understand the unit.
Gizmos
Gizmos is an engaging simulator that has won awards and brings teaching methods that have been proven effective to public learning. Gizmos provides instructors with effective interactive representations of ideas addressed in the CAST and NGSS to augment and improve education. Gizmos make it easier for instructors and students to evaluate students’ thinking and comprehension further than questionnaires. The essential concepts of the Next Generation Science Standards are better understood by pupils thanks to this platform. Gizmos in biology, geoscience, physics, and engineering show both stability and motion. Students in kindergarten can use the “In the Torque and Moment of Inertia Gizmo” to equalize the forces on a seesaw by changing weights and a pivot.
NASA Earth Observatory
The Earth System Observatory is a collection of Earth-focused projects run by NASA that are intended to deliver crucial data to support initiatives to tackle climate change, mitigate natural disasters, put out wildfires, and enhance tangible agricultural operations. It suggests an interactive interface for viewing daily, full-resolution satellite photos from throughout the world. The observatory will support those students in their quest for a comprehensive understanding of Earth, from its bedrock to its atmosphere, as well as for a thorough explanation of physical processes. The instructor can use NASA’s online observatory to deploy the visual depiction that shows how sea levels rise and land motion. Younger pupils may be helped to comprehend the ideas of stability and motion by illustrating the variations in the height and velocity of ice in a region that was assumed to be rather secure and tranquil.
