Bogusevschi, Diana; Muntean, Cristina; Muntean, Gabriel-Miro – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2020
A common problem in many schools is the lack of equipment and materials in their science laboratories due to both limited budget available to the school and high maintenance cost of the lab. The latest technological advancements provide great opportunities for schools to go over the budget and cost issues by using 3D virtual learning environments…

Jordan, Rebecca; Gray, Steven; Demeter, Marylee; Lui, Lei; Hmelo-Silver, Cindy E. – Applied Environmental Education and Communication, 2009
Teaching ecological concepts in schools is important in promoting natural science and environmental education for young learners. Developing educational programs is difficult, however, because of complicated ecological processes operating on multiple levels, the unlimited nature of potential system interactions (given the openness of systems), and…

Mills, Terence J.; And Others – Journal of Environmental Education, 1985
Compares knowledge and attitude levels of elementary, secondary science, and other secondary teachers on water resources. Evaluates an interactive computer simulation, the "Water Resource Management Simulator" (WRMS), as a training tool for inservice teachers. Users of WRMS exhibited higher knowledge scores than nonusers. No differences…

Hakerem, Gita; And Others – 1993
The Water and Molecular Networks (WAMNet) Project uses graduate student written Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) computer simulations of the molecular structure of water to assist high school students learn about the nature of water. This study examined: (1) preconceptions concerning the molecular structure of water common among high…

Hakerem, Gita; And Others – 1993
This study reports the efforts of the Water and Molecular Networks Project (WAMNet), a program in which high school chemistry students use computer simulations developed at Boston University (Massachusetts) to model the three-dimensional structure of molecules and the hydrogen bond network that holds water molecules together. This case study…
