Why do different substances have different boiling points? Through an interactive lesson, learners explore how intermolecular attractions affect boiling points. They interact with molecules through an animation and make conclusions about...

In this learning module from The Concord Consortium, students will watch what happens when a Van de Graaff generator is used.

In this learning module from The Concord Consortium, students will start to develop their own computer simulation models of how attraction and repulsion between charged objects work.

In this learning module from The Concord Consortium, students will will explore how uncharged objects interact with charged objects.

In this learning module from The Concord Consortium, students will learn how to figure out whether an object has a positive or negative charge.

In this learning module from The Concord Consortium, students will investigate how polar and non-polar regions in big molecules interact to result in certain shapes and properties for those molecules.

In this learning module from The Concord Consortium, students will investigate how polar and nonpolar regions in big molecules interact to result in certain shapes and properties for those molecules.

In this learning module from The Concord Consortium, students will explore how the shape of the antibody is complementary to the shape of the antigen.

In this learning module from The Concord Consortium, students will explore how energy and electric forces change when you mix polar and non-polar substances together.

A learning unit with instructions on how to build a cardboard model house, and explore the effectiveness of a furnace vs. solar heating. The unit is in PDF format.

Students are asked to create a bungee jump that will protect a hard-boiled egg from breaking. A force sensor is needed to measure the push/pull forces on the egg. Data is inserted into force-time graphs. After completing three...

For this interactive, students plan, create, and test a zip line that will transport a hard-boiled egg without breaking it. They will make improvements on their design based on data about its performance. A motion sensor is required in...

An interactive module where students record their ideas in response to questions, and read and manipulate graphs and charts while they learn about velocity-time graphs and position-time graphs.

For this experiment, students work to find the dew point temperature in their classroom, or the temperature at which water would condense. Includes questions for students to respond to online. Requires free registration in order to save...

In this interactive, students manipulate a computer model that shows where earthquakes and volcanic eruptions have occurred since 1960, to make predictions, collect data and look for patterns. Includes career connection, and a question...

A learning module with built-in interactive features where students can read background information on each gas law, then explore the interrelationships of pressure, temperature, and volume. Covers Boyle's Law, Charles's Law,...

An interactive tool where students can create a model of a greenhouse and use a light sensor to measure the amount of light it receives from a lamp at various times of the day. Temperature is also measured. Data is plotted on graphs,...

A learning module with built-in interactive features where students can read about the differences between large and small molecules, build protein structures, and test their strength under different conditions. They will review polarity...

A learning module with built-in interactive features where students can explore the fascinating topic of matter tunneling through a barrier. They will learn how electron waves can sometimes manage this, devices that use this concept, and...

A learning module with built-in interactive features where students can observe how electrons behave. Using a virtual scanning tunneling microscope (STM), they experiment with moving the electrons inside an atom around. The STM has two...

An interactive tool where students can explore how a pendulum works, and how length, mass, angle, and friction affect its motion or period. As the pendulum moves, its motion is shown in an angle-time graph.

An interactive tool where students can explore how a pendulum behaves when attached to a spring, which means the length of the attachment is always changing. As the pendulum moves, its motion is shown on two graphs.

An interactive tool where students can explore how a spring behaves, and how changing the elasticity, mass, push/pull force, and friction affect its motion or period. As the spring moves, its motion is shown on a distance-time graph.

A virtual world where students conduct genetics experiments on a model species called drakes. After the story narrative is introduced, they engage in a quest to heal a sick dragon. As they play, they will learn about the principles of...
