Nobel laureate Carl Wieman spoke at IUPUI last week.  Many of you may already be aware of this, but his group has developed FREE interactive simulations for Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Earth Science instruction.  His research shows that simulations using as little as five minutes of classroom time can have positive effects on test scores, and in some cases are more effective than traditional classroom demonstrations and labs.  Here is the link if you are interested http://phet.colorado.edu
