In addition to the Virtual Urchin simulation, I’m interested in a few more that were mentioned in Technology in the Secondary Science Classroom (Bell, Gess-Newsome, Luft). And as we understand that online and computer simulations don’t replace first-hand experiences, they do represent great supplemental material. I teach a seventh grade class that includes Life Science [...]

One online simulation that I think is quite well done (and that I use already in my classes) is the Virtual Urchin, which is a project out of Stanford University’s Hopkins Marine Station. I did a lab with them at an NABT conference a few years ago. I found the lab fascinating and their resources [...]
