Computer simulations can be as effective as direct observation at teaching students - 0 views

  •  
    "Students can learn some science concepts just as well from computers simulations as they do from direct observation, new research suggests. See Also: Mind & Brain Educational Psychology Language Acquisition Space & Time Moon Pluto Computers & Math Computer Modeling Computer Science Reference Computer simulation Instructional design Computing power everywhere Local area network A study found that people who used computer simulations to learn about moon phases understood the concepts just as well -- and in some cases better -- than did those who learned from collecting data from viewing the moon."

Cool math - Fractals - Fractal art, lessons and generators - 0 views

  •  
    "Back in the 1960's, a French mathematician named Benoit Mandelbrot started thinking about simple pretty simple: How long is the coast of Britain? Sure, it seems easy enough... But, think about how you'd really measure it... In 1975, he made up the word "fractal" because he thought these figures would look fractured or broken up. It wasn't until he had a computer that he could SEE a picture of what he'd been thinking about!"
