The process of developing and running simulations needs to become simple and accessible to audiences ranging from middle school students in a learning environment to subject matter experts in order to make the benefits of modeling and simulation commonly available. However, current simulations are for the most part developed and run on platforms that are: (1) demanding in terms of computational resources, (2) difficult for general audiences to use owing to unintuitive interfaces mired in mathematical syntax, (3) expensive to acquire and maintain and (4) hard to interoperate and compose. The result is a four-dimensional expense that makes simulation inaccessible to the general public. In this paper we show that by embracing the web and its standards, the use and development of simulations can become democratized and be part of a Web of Simulation where people of all skill levels are able to build, upload, retrieve, rate, and connect simulations. We show how the Web of Simulation can be built using the three basic principles of service orientation, platform independence, and interoperability. Finally, we present strategies for implementing the Web of Simulation and discuss challenges and possible approaches.

In the information age, middle school students must be intelligent consumers of information. to instill critical thinking with respect to statistical data, the interpritation and creation of graphs are essential. Although vast amounts of information can be gleaned from traditional text sources, the World Wide Web (WWW) offers information that is updated far more frequently than most printed materials. Because of the motivational aspects and expedient nature of using data from the Web, this article focuses on its use; however, each of the activities can be adapted for use with traditional, text-based media.

This study aimed to identify the impact of web applications (2.0) in developing the skills of criticism and artistic taste among middle school students in Al-Baha region, as well as to identify the interactive environment needed for web applications (2.0) to develop these skills. Development of those skills. The researcher used the descriptive approach and the experimental approach to achieve the objectives of the study as follows: The descriptive approach in constructing the questionnaire of criticism and technical taste skills, and the questionnaire of building the interactive environment for web applications (2.0). The researcher used the experimental approach in measuring the impact of the web in developing the skills of criticism and taste Technical. The study sample consisted of (40) middle school students in Al-Baha area in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Divided into two groups, one experimental (20) students, and the other officer (20) students. The experimental group was exposed to web applications (2.0), while the control group did not receive any application on the web. It was taught in the traditional way. The test was used to measure the significance of the differences between the two study groups. Of the application; and whether that significance is large, medium or small ?.

  This paper aims to explore The Effectiveness of WEB QUESTS in Developing Mathematical Thinking and Attitudes towards Mathematics for Intermediate School Students. The research using the Analytical Descriptive Methodology in preparing the Mathematical Thinking List that needed for the Intermediate School Students, preparing Unite in the first semester Grade eight school Mathematics as WEB Quests, Mathematical Thinking Test, and the Attitudes towards Mathematics scale.  Using the Quasi experimental Methodology in doing the experiment, pre and post applied of the Mathematical Thinking Test, and the Attitudes towards Mathematics scale. The result revealed that, The WEB QUESTS has Effectiveness in Developing Mathematical Thinking and Attitudes towards Mathematics for the experimental sample.  Then, recommendations and suggestions were presented.

Competitive Activities

The attitudes and perceptions of middle school students toward competitive activities in physical education were examined. Ten boys and 14 girls volunteered (11-high-skilled, 11 moderate-skilled, and 2 low skilled students) in 6th and 7th grade from a total of 6 schools, all offering competitive activities. Data collection was conducted over several months and included focus groups consisting of students of mixed skill levels, observations of competitive class activities, and informal interviews with teachers. The three major themes that emerged were, having fun in competitive activities, not all students were attaining motor skills necessary to participate in activities due to a lack of time to engage in appropriate practice, and the structure of competitive activities affects student experience
