Have you ever wondered how an atom is created?  Or maybe you find yourself wondering how energy forms and changes.  Do building fractions and creating creatures from area formulas excite you?  Then this simulation website is for you!

Spark your thinking!

1. Set up your STEAM mini spark recording page: #17: Science Simulations

2. PhET Simulations is an interactive website full of simulations that introduce you to many different areas of math and science such as force and motion, energy forms and changes, the Greenhouse Effect, Glaciers, and more! Watch this tutorial that shows you how to find the different  simulations. On your recording page, describe the static electricity simulation.

3. Click here to get started on your own simulation journey!  The site has the simulations divided into 5 categories. Record the main topics that you can explore on your recording page.

4.  Set your timer for 10 minutes. Explore the site and try out some of the options.

*Be sure to hold your iPad horizontally while working with the simulations.*

5. What was your favorite simulation? Write a paragraph explaining the simulation.

6. Share your STEAM mini spark recording page with your teacher/EY coordinator
