Comment:

Wow! I thought this StAIR had a ton of great information.  Each Law was thoroughly explained and examples provided.  Even though it was designed for high school students, I did find it to be a bit text heavy.  It makes it very easy to just skim through, without focusing on the information.  I liked the sections where the text was animated better, although the animations were a bit on the slow slide. I also liked having the option of selecting which law I wanted to work on.  I thought the explanations of the correct answers were very valuable. The last slide provides great closure and would allow for the teacher to know whether or not the student understands the material or just clicked through.

Technical Remarks:

The set-up was very good, but there were a few glitches.  I saw the sound icon, but no sound would play when it was clicked on.  Like other commenters, I could not see the video either.
