Sims+assignment

For this assignment, you have two choices:

1. Complete the exploring equilibrium mini-lab handout (10 points for completion)

2. Design your own mini-lab lesson for general chemistry students. (10 points + 10 bonus points) The idea to is to explore one of the chemistry related sims at the PHET website, and write a simulation lab assignment that leads the student through using the simulation to learn concepts through an inquiry- based approach. There are lots of examples of these lessons that teachers have created. They are available on the PHET website. You can explore some of those to get ideas for your own assignments.

Remember, they have to be able to work in either one or two class periods ideally to be useful and effective. You could consider having an in class and homework component to the assignments also.
