Web-based Simulations/Inquiry Activities
Instructors ONLY Page

Use this page to investigate the simulations and accompanying guided/open inquiry activities. Also is provided support for instructors including expected student response, sample exam questions and criteria for assessing the effectiveness of the simulation and inquiry activity.

If you would like to use any of these materials with your students we suggest that you access the activities you intend your students to use, copy the URL for the activity (see below) and make that URL available to your students. Do NOT use the URL for this page!
