How did we change the sim?
![Page 12: Science inquiry using PhET: A global resource of 100 free interactive simulations](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a4e550346895dc78100/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Is the sim intuitive?
Do students find the controls?

Using PhET in lecture
How will adding water affect the pH?
A. Increase pH
B. Decrease pH
C. No pH change
![Page 16: Science inquiry using PhET: A global resource of 100 free interactive simulations](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a4e550346895dc78100/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Using PhET in lab
Add 100 silver bromide pairs to the water. How many silver and bromide ions dissolve in the water? Repeat this for all salts.
Investigate different salts. What features do salts have in common, and how do salts differ from each other?

One sim, two uses
Circuit Construction Kit
CCK in grade school:“What do you need to make the bulb light?”
CCK in college:“Why does the light dim when you turn on the heater?”
