Using Computer Simulations in Science Classes

Professors Robert Goldstone and Linda Smith have grants from the Department of Education and the National Science Foundation to study how computer simulations can be best incorporated into seventh and eighth grade science classes. Their aim is to foster generalizable and transferable understanding in students so that a learned scientific principle can be applied in novel and unexpected situations. They are collaborating with classrooms at Jackson Creek Middle School.
