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,...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

What does competition for food do to a population? Experience what happens to a rabbit population with limited resources in this virtual ecosystem. At the end of the exercise, there are questions relating to concepts reviewed.

Build an air conditioner in this activity using a washcloth, coat hanger, aluminum pan, and three-speed fan. After constructing the air, students will measure the air, water, and wet cloth temperature as well as measuring the humidity....
