| Abstract: The value of an educational simulation lies in the authenticity of the situation presented and the ability of the simulation to react and adapt appropriately with the participants. Based on the evaluation results of a science center simulation activity, this paper explores the challenges and ethical dilemmas of providing a technology enhanced science simulation designed to teach higher order process skills and science content. |
