The webinar will take place at 17.30 CEST in the Scientix online meeting room. After registration, you will receive an email with instructions. NB: Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis!
Webinar outline:
Online simulations and models can be used to facilitate an inquiry based approach to Science and Maths. Unlike expensive and sometimes scarce laboratory equipment these models if broken can be easily fixed and also can facilitate a “what if” approach by learners. These models do not replace practical laboratory work but can help students to deepen their understanding of concepts and processes. The webinar will examine three examples of such online models with a particular emphasis on the graphical representation of data.
Teachers will be asked to give their feedback on a padlet.
