Create a molecular bond and observe energy over time.

Can you break the bond between the two atoms?

Control the temperature and observe the impact on the motion and interactions between particles. Compare the interactions between nonpolar molecules and between polar molecules to see how polarity affects the boiling point of substances...

Explore how changing the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons affect the type of atom.

Explore the effect of temperature on diffusion.

Impact on potential energy when a substance dissolves in water. Add water to a substance and observe the impact on potential energy as the substance dissolves. Observe the interactions between molecules as the substance dissolves over...

Simulating J.J. Thomson's discovery of the electron. Participate in a simulation where two electrodes are connected to a high voltage source and see them produce cathode rays.

Explore the change in potential energy when molecules are separated from each other or broken apart.

Simulations that explore different attractive forces between polar and non polar molecules.

A simulation to show how a charged balloon sticks to a neutral wall.

Explore how temperature affects chemical reactions.

Compare potential energy of oppositely or similarly charged particles.

Manipulate the charge on objects to explore the relationship between charge, electric field, and forces on objects.

Manipulate the charge on objects to explore the relationship between charge, electric field, and forces on objects.

For various scenarios students select which of two variables should be considered independent and which dependent, and to explain their choice.

Students explore experimental data of cricket chirping rate to find linear trends on graphs. They use this trend to interpolate values and then find the corresponding linear equations.

Demonstrate your understanding of linear growth graphs.

Explore how electric fields relate to forces on charged objects.

Students define potential energy and explore the relationship between potential energy and field. How does potential energy change when things are pushed or pulled? Where does the energy that was used to charge the Van de Graaff...

An investigation of what happens to energy during changes.

Explore and use models of electric fields to explain how charged objects interact with other objects.

Activity 3 investigates Why is lightning so much bigger that a spark from the Van de Graff generator? In Activity 3 of this module, students investigate factors that affect the amount of potential energy that is stored.

Activity 2 of the module investigates Where does the energy used to charge the Van de Graaff generator go? The activity investigates how objects can interact without touching, as well as what happens to potential energy when objects...

Activity 1 of this module investigates: How does potential energy change when things are pushed or pulled? Exploring how force is related to potential energy, this activity investigates how potential energy is changed when a spring is...
