Only looking at pictures
In school, for the lesson on electric circuits, you only got to look at drawings in the book. You wanted to build one yourself, but there was no lab, and you were scared of short circuits.
VIRTUAL LAB
A virtual lab
Now there are virtual labs. You drag batteries, wires and bulbs onto the screen, press run, and see right away whether the bulb lights up.
PHET
A free library of simulations
A well-known one is PhET from the University of Colorado in the US: over a hundred simulations in physics, chemistry, biology and math, free, in many languages.
CHANGE ANYTHING
Things you can't do in real life
The best part is you can change things you can't change in real life: turn off gravity, zoom into molecules, make time run a hundred times faster.
GUESS FIRST
Guess, then press
But don't just click for fun. The trick is to guess the result before you run it. When you guess wrong is when you learn the most.
ASK AI
Stuck? Ask
If you get stuck, take a screenshot and send it to AI, and ask why the result was different from what you guessed.
PART 3
Role-play with AI
For experiments with objects, there are virtual labs. What about practicing conversations with people? Part three: role-play with AI.
