The Virtual Genetics Lab: A Freely-Available Open-Source Genetics Simulation
|
We have developed the Virtual Genetics Lab (VGL), a computer simulation of transmission genetics in a hypothetical insect. The program presents a student with a genetic phenomenon-the inheritance of a randomly-selected trait. The student's task is to determine how this trait is inherited. He/she constructs a genetic model for the phenomenon by designing his/her own experimental crosses; the results of these crosses arc generated by the software. He/she then analyzes the results, revises hypot...

Effects of preventative tutoring on the mathematical problem solving of third-grade students with math and reading difficulties.(Table)
Exceptional Children
; Solving word problems, which is a major component of the primary-grade mathematics curriculum, is a form of mathematical cognition that is distinct from calculation skill (e.g., L. S. Fuchs, Fuchs, Stuebing, Fletcher, Hamlett, & Lambert, 2006). Although word problems require correct calculation for
