We have developed several digital learning environments that middle school students can use to plan and carry out investigations. All of our virtual simulations allow students to systematically manipulate independent variables to collect and interpret data, use evidence to make claims, and write explanations in ways similar to scientists and engineers. The simulations also provide visualizations and opportunities to run trials in idealized environments, such as conducting trials with no friction, to support students’ construction of science ideas and relationships. There are links to go to the simulations online.
