Human bodies can conduct electricity—that doesn't sound like it would feel good! Learners explore conductivity through the use of this simulation. They see why metals conduct electricity and plastics don't and why some materials will...

Ionic bonds form from electrostatic energy, allowing for higher conductivity than those seen in covalent bonds. In the simulation, learners add sugar and salt to water and see the effects on concentration and conductivity of their...

In this pH worksheet, students experiment with dilutions of acidic solutions to test for the pH using cabbage as an indicator. They then test a variety of substances for pH. On day two of the lab, they test conductivity of solutions and...

Raise the temperature in your class with this hot film! Cartoon teens discuss thermal energy, the conservation and transfer of energy, three methods of heat transfer, conductors, and insulators. The publisher effectively packed every...

Electricity travels at the speed of light, 186,000 miles per second. Through a simulation, classes see how the structure of energy bands in crystals of atoms determines how materials conduct electricity. Participants can change the...

In this conductors and insulators worksheet, students answer 11 questions about electrical resistance, conductance, gauge scale, and breakdown voltage.

In this electrical connections worksheet, students answer 13 questions about conductance, resistors, how to build a circuit and electrical connections.

In this conductors activity, students complete 15 problems about conductance, strain gauge, and electrical resistance of conductors.

Conduct a classroom conversation about communication using this resource as a jumping-off point. For this The Learning Network activity, learners read an excerpt from The New York Times opinion piece, "The Flight From Conversation," and...

Blast off! How do satellites, space shuttles, and space stations escape Earth's gravity and achieve orbit? Young astronauts study rocket science (literally) with an interactive lesson. They discover the four main uses for satellites, how...

Finally, an electronegativity resource your class will be strangely drawn to! Skilled scientists manipulate interactive puzzles to gain an understanding of common electronegativity values. The great thing? You can conduct the lesson...

Here's a solid resource for solubility. Given the solubility of copper chloride at two different temperatures, young chemists need to determine the solubility at a third given temperature. Using a virtual lab, they design and conduct an...

All oxidation-reduction reactions can be reduced to a gain or loss of electrons. A two-part virtual lab first has users perform an experiment to order four metals from strongest to weakest reducing agent. It then requires aspiring...

There's no diluted learning here! Young chemists conduct a virtual lab exploration to practice their stoichiometry skills. By manipulating simulated solutions, they create a solution of a specific glucose molarity.

Hiking chemists have an advantage! Young scholars use a virtual lab to conduct an experiment to create an exothermic reaction. The goal is to create enough heat to warm a meal during a hike in the rain.

Cool it! A virtual lab has users conduct an experiment to find the specific heat capacity for an unknown substance. The substance is an engine coolant, and calculating the specific heat capacity lets learners determine if it is a better...

To understand the concept of a county government system, scholars read a short passage, view a helpful visual aid, use the web to conduct some research about their local areas, and then answer related questions online.

Learn about functions using the function builder app. A fun online interactive has the class conduct an investigation using a function machine. Inputs are pieces of art, and output are transformations of these pieces of art.

World War II left the British desperate for help in any form—including in the form of a magician! High schooler conduct research on Jasper Maskelyne, a stage magician who used his talents to deceive the Germans on the war front, before...

Young historians delve into the origin of federal social programs to understand the impact of the New Deal. An informative activity explores some of the New Deal programs, such as the Civilian Conservation Corp, using historical...
