Hey everyone–I am going to give you some freedom in your next assignment. I want you to go to my favorite science simulation website (http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/category/by-level/middle-school) and pick ANY of the simulations. You can try more than one if you’d like. Then I want you to answer the following questions as a comment to this post, either on the ASB Science facebook page, or this page (if you already have an account).
- What was the title of your simulation?
- Why did you choose this simulation?
- What are 3 things you learned from this simulation?
- Would you consider the simulation “fun”?
- What surprised you about this simulation?
Remmeber: Post your answers as a comment on this post, or on the Grade 6/7 ASB Science FB page. Don’t email them to me, please.

Learn how to balance equations using this simulation: http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/balancing-chemical-equations
Remember to select “Run Now”. Use Google Chrome, and if the simulation doesn’t work, you need to download the latest version of Flash and install it. Then restart your computer and try again.
Please download this document: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24142903/Chemistry/11%20Reactions/Balancing/Balancing%20Chemical%20Equations%20pre-lab.docx
You may print it out and fill out the page on with a pen, or you may do the worksheet electronically and email it to me. Up to you.
Do the same thing with this document:
If you need extra help, check out the Khan Academy’s video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnGu3xO2h74
