The Virtual Scientist puts you and your students in a virtual lab where they can explore the critical issues and wonders of science without the expense or the safety concerns of a real lab.
Students: Use these virtual instruments (VI) to explore topics you've heard about in your science and math classes. Each VI is generally covers a single topic. Run the VI if it isn't already running by pressing the run arrow. At first freely explore the VI at will. Open the help window and move your cursor around the screen. Each front panel control and indicator has an explanation. Move your cursor over the icon in the top right corner and a long description of the virtual instrument appears. Teachers: You are the most important part of a student's success. Take a little time and enjoy these science instruments yourself, then use them to spark science motivation in your students. Enthusiasts Explore topics of science with these interactive tools. Some of the innovative Virtual Instruments enthusiasts might enjoy are Two Tone beat generator, Rotating Vector v. AC, Pendulum period, GABOR Sonogram, Conway’s Game of Life. The VI titled “Metronome” includes a special and very poetic clock which tells the time gone and the time left in the day. The VI titled “Dymaxion” uses a map by Buckminister Fuller which uses color to show the kinetic energy of the planet’s surface. |
