How to Create Simple Simulations

Do you ever have an idea that you want to implement as a simulation in your class, but you can't find what you want online? If this is the case, you can create your own "Simple Simulations" for any subject. You could create a simulation for solving math problems, you could create a story with moving parts, you could create a virtual lab, etc... The options are endless. For example, check out the Chemistry videos below to see what can be done.

To be able to create your own simulations, you will need to start with a plan. 

• What do you want on each slide?
• What text will go on each slide?
• Do you want a moving part on each slide?
• Will there be any links on each slide?

Once your game plan is developed, you will need to create GIF's for each moving component you will want in your simulation. If you are unfamiliar with how to create a GIF, you will want to check out the video below.

Once you have your GIF's created, you will need to add your GIF's to the correct slides in Google Slides then you will need to link your slides. Check out the video below to see how you can link slides and add GIF's in Google Slides.

Once you have your slides linked and your GIF's inserted, you can go in and add your content to each slide and work on how the slides will look. For some additional tips about creating Google Slides, check out the video below.
