A review of the PhET Simulations website.
Fun, interactive, research-based simulations of physical phenomena from the PhET project at the University of Colorado – it's free! Helps students visually comprehend concepts.
Fun, interactive,
research-based simulations of
physical phenomena from the PhET project at the University of Colorado – it'sfree!
The PhET simulation design principles are based on research on how
students learn
PhET simulations have been found to be very effective in lectures,
in class activities, lab and homework
Designed with minimal text so that they can easily be integrated
into every aspect of a course
What the website offers:
It enables students to make connections between real-life
phenomena and the underlying science, deepening their understanding andappreciation of the physical world
Helps students visually comprehend concepts
PhET simulations animate what is invisible to the eye through
the use of graphics and intuitive controls such as click-and-drag manipulation,sliders and radio buttons
In order to further encourage quantitative exploration, the
simulations also offer measurement instruments including rulers, stop-watches,voltmeters and thermometers
As the user manipulates these interactive tools, responses are
immediately animated thus effectively illustrating cause-and-effectrelationships as well as multiple linked representations
There are simulations for physics, biology, chemistry, earth
science, maths
You can also search for them by grade level (American standards)
You can find some simulations in Afrikaans (and many other
languages too)
For teachers:
There is a page dedicated to teachers – an ideas and activity
page:
(External Link)
There are teacher submitted contributions, designed to be used
in conjunction with the
PhET simulations
These contributions include homework assignments, lectures,
activities, concept questions and more, and enable you to get the most out ofyour PhET experience
If you have developed your own material, they encourage you to
contribute it
Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

Every time someone flushes a toilet in the apartment building, the person begins to jumb back automatically after hearing the flush, before the water temperature changes. Identify the types of learning, if it is classical conditioning identify the NS, UCS, CS and CR. If it is operant conditioning, identify the type of consequence positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement or punishment
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
hello. autism is a umbrella term. autistic kids have different disorder overlapping. for example. a kid may show symptoms of ADHD and also learning disabilities.
before treatment please make sure the kid doesn't have physical disabilities like hearing..vision..speech problem. sometimes these

sometimes due to these physical problems..the diagnosis may be misdiagnosed.
treatment for autism.
well it depends on the severity.
since autistic kids have problems in communicating and adopting to the environment.. it's best to expose the child in situations where the child

child interact with other kids under doc supervision.
play therapy.
speech therapy.
Engaging in different activities that activate most parts of the brain.. like drawing..painting. matching color board game.
string and beads game.
the more you interact with the child the more effective

results you'll get..
please consult a therapist to know what suits best on your child.
and last as a parent. I know sometimes it's overwhelming to guide a special kid.
but trust the process and be strong and patient as a parent.
