Ck 12: Physics Simulation: Marie Curie's Classroom

Marie Curie was a genius and a hard-working, selfless, groundbreaking scientist. A video discusses her work, her personal life, and how impressive both were for the time and place she was born. 

Marie Curie overcame limitations to become the first person to win two Nobel Prizes. A video presentation outlines her work and discoveries in radioactivity. The narrator gives a timeline of her achievements as she sacrificed her...

What makes some elements stable and others radioactive? Scholars adjust the number of protons and neutrons in an element then observe its decay. The simulation includes a graphical representation and the chemical formula, as well as...

Can you name the only person to win two Nobel Prizes in two different sciences? After watching a short video on the life, discoveries, and accomplishments of Marie Curie, you can!

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this simulation, students investigate the question of whether force is required to keep a sled moving on ice.

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this simulation, students look at the question of whether one can score a goal in an electric field. They experiment with positive and negative charges to try to score goals.

This simulation explores changing forces to move a heavy cart to exact positions.
