University of Colorado: Ph Et Interactive Simulations: Reactions & Rates

Students will learn what causes reactions and what affects the rates of reaction through data collected by conducting several simulated experiments.

An interactive simulation that teaches about springs, Hooke's Law, and conservation of energy observing changes in kinetic, potential, and thermal energy by adjusting the stiffness and damping of springs holding various masses. This...

An interactive simulation that teaches about chemical reactions and limiting reactants by creating sandwiches to represent chemical reactions. See how many can be made using different amounts of reactants. This simulation can either be...

An interactive simulation with weights and scales that teaches about balancing chemical equations and conservation of mass. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and includes handouts, lesson plans, and additional...

An interactive simulation that teaches about gravitational force, Newton's Third Law, and force pairs by varying properties affect the gravitational force exerted between two objects. This simulation can either be downloaded or played...

An interactive simulation will heat, cool and compress atoms and molecules. Watch as they change between solid, liquid and gas phases. Recognize that different substances have different properties which will affect the temperatures for...

Test the pH of everyday liquids such as coffee, spit, and soap to determine whether each is acidic, basic, or neutral. Investigate how adding more of a liquid or diluting with water affects pH.

An interactive simulation with balloons and a sweater that teaches about static electricity, electric charges, and electric force. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and includes handouts, lesson plans, and...

An interactive simulation that teaches about Beer's Law, solutions, concentration, spectrophotometry, and more through observations to explore how much light is absorbed and transmitted with changes in thickness and color. This...

An interactive simulation that teaches about photons, monochromatic light, white light, and rainbows through changing wavelengths, beams, filters, and color combinations. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and...
