Today--Partners, Populations, and Kinetics

Predator-prey simulation...interesting that we could change the variety of factors in the online simulation and see immediate results that could be easily interpreted in the graphs----great for visual learners. What really triggered brain response today was the manipulatives in the predator-prey lab. That's the best interaction we've had as a group. Great learning and population-decay-concept-illustrating lab for a great range of student ages. I loved hearing classmates suggestions for improvement, variety in approach, or avoidance of problems. This lab is good for strengthening thinking skills for discussion. Both labs were great for engaging lab partners. I think it was good to wait for Friday am to get deeper into the math of the chemsitry kinetics lab.
