Buildings and Floors

Co-Lab is designed based on a building metaphor. Within each building there are floors and rooms. On the floor level students have access to four rooms (Hall, Theory, Meeting, and Lab) which correspond to the processes of exploration, hypothesis generation, experimentation, and evaluation. The students will engage in these processes while solving and modelling a physics contextually based problem.

Each of these rooms has specific tools which students use to conduct different aspects of their inquiry.
