In the virtual world of Geniverse, students study and manipulate the process of meiosis in dragons, and try to choose the right alleles in order to produce the target offspring.

In this interactive, students can explore how current, voltage, and resistance are related in a model showing the flow of electrons in an electric circuit. They will learn about Ohm's law and how other forms of energy can be made from...

Did you ever want to be a hawk? In this virtual ecosystem, students will take on the role of a hawk and try to catch rabbits on a snowy field. Students will see which rabbits have adaptations that allow them to blend into the environment...

With this interactive tool and the use of a motion sensor, students will track their own motion and, as they collect data in several experiments, they will plot it on a distance-time graph. After completing the three experiments, they...

A project where students design, build, and a test a bridge made out of file folders. Students will use a force sensor to measure how strong their model bridge is. Then students will compare their results to classmates to conclude what...

An activity to help students understand that as the environment changes, plants and animals must evolve to stay alive. Students watch as a mystery plants grow in a changing environment to see if they will evolve or go extinct.

This web-based activity takes students through a series of pages in which they find out about the effects charged particles have on one another, discover how Coulomb's force works, and see some real-world examples. Multiple-choice and...

Students are able to explore the effects of energy on excitation of atoms through simulations, then relate this information to photons at atoms' absorption and emission of light. Multiple-choice and short answer questions are found...

A series of science simulations exploring how molecules assemble themselves and how scientists are learning to engineer their structure. Students will discover what patterns molecules form with interactive lessons. At the end there is a...

Using a voltage sensor, students will measure how much "electricity" is produced by the wind turbine that they design and build. Students will experiment with blade designs to see which one collects energy from the wind the most...

Have you ever wondered how important gases enter and leave cells? Take an up close tour of a pore in a cell membrane. Then explore diffusion, osmosis, and active transport through this collection of interactive models.

Through this activity, students work with macromolecules, proteins and nucleic acids. The focus is on the atomic structure of proteins, how linear polymers are made, and the surface charges of the resulting polymers. . Multiple-choice...

Learn what happens to different populations of organisms as their ecosystem changes. Design your own experiment and make your own guesses with what the result will be with this virtual ecosystem. Also experiment with producer/consumer...

This web-based activity gives students an opportunity to write chemical reactions, balance chemical equations, and explain what is happening during a given chemical reaction. Also addressed is the effects of concentration and temperature...

Introduces learners to atomic models of the past and present, focusing on the orbital model and an explanation of its basis. Learners then have the opportunity to "make an atom" and contrast it with an ion, followed by an isotope. The...

Online activity walks learner through exploration of kinetic and potential energy using animations. Through graphs, a quantitative connection is made between the movement and the energy involved. This information is then related to the...

Web-based activity provides an opportunity for students to study cellular respiration in an up-close and personal way. By following atoms and molecules through an interactive animation, they will be able to see the changes that take...

By working through this web-based activity, students differentiate between ionic, non-polar covalent, and polar covalent bonds. Specifically, distinctions are made between bonding types based on orbital shapes and electronegativity...

Explore how clouds are formed with the computer-based model in these interactive activities. Also learn about clouds part in the water cycle. Activity includes pre- and post-tests which can be saved and graded by the teacher.

Investigate how the genetic code on a DNA strands controls what protein is produced with this collection of animations and 3D models. Explore an interactive 3D model of the double helix, watch an animation of transcription, and see the...

Understand the energy transformations that happens when you light a bulb with a battery. Activity requires students to build a simple circuit and take temperature and time measurements. Lab includes procedure with questions that can be...

Why don't you look exactly like your brother or sister? Meiosis involves the reducing of genetic material and chromosome shuffling which results in different genetic combinations. In this activity, students will view a computer model of...

Using temperature probes, students will monitor the temperature of melting ice cubes in different situations. This lab activity, allows students to view the procedure and answer questions online that can be saved and evaluated by the...

Try your hand at mating dragons to learn about genetic recombination, meiosis, and inherited traits. Understand how chromosomes separate in meiosis with a science animation. Then change alleles for the dragons to see what happens to...
