The Boyle’s Law Simulator: A Dynamic Interactive Visualization for Discovery Learning of Experimental Error Analysis

Scott A. Sinex, Prince George's Community College

Abstract

As a follow-up to the classic Boyle’s law experiment, students can investigate experimental error in the virtual realm of a spreadsheet. Students engage in numerous higher-order thinking and science process skills as they work through the simulation.
