Title Virtual Science Teachers Mechanical Waves Escape Room
Description PhET Waves on a String and Intro to Waves simulations are embedded into a Virtual Science Teachers interactive titled "Mechanical Waves: You've Been Abducted by Aliens". Students use the PhET simulations to answer questions throughout the interactive. Several places require students to get 5 questions in a row correct before continuing. This requires students to truly engage with the interactive and not just click through it. The last page of the interactive includes an opportunity for the student to sign and screenshot their name. The worksheet includes several of the questions in the interactive and a CER activity.
