2. Affordances and Weaknesses Affordances:   Interactive simulation allows students to explore light's effect on photosynthesis. Real-time data and graphs facilitate understanding. Quizzes and games embedded within the resource promote engagement and assessment. Personalize learning: Multimedia resources can cater for different learning styles and abilities. Weaknesses:   Limited scope, focusing only on light's effect on photosynthesis No opportunities for students to ask questions or interact with peers Multimedia resources can be distracting if not used effectively. Technical issues: Compatibility and connectivity problems can hinder usage.

3. Learning Objective Explain how light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis, including the role of pigments and electron transport (SHS Biology Curriculum)

4. Achieving Learning Objective Using Learnetic's simulation, students can explore and analyze light's effect on photosynthesis G uizzes and games help students understand the role of light in photosynthesis and its optimization

5. Technology-Oriented Strategy Classroom Context: Blended learning environment with 30 students, 1:1 devices, and internet access Strategy : Introduction (10 minutes): Introduce photosynthesis and light's importance Exploration (20 minutes): Students use Learnetic's simulation to explore light's effect on photosynthesis Virtual Lab Activity (20 minutes): Students conduct virtual experiments using online simulation tools Group Discussion (20 minutes): Students discuss and clarify concepts in small groups Assessment (20 minutes): Teacher assesses understanding using quizzes and class discussion
