Area Builder gives students the opportunity to build any shape and explore the relationship between the area of a shape and the length of its perimeter. The “Game Screen” contains two kinds of challenges: Build a shape and Find the area. There are different levels of increasing difficulty. The teacher notes give...

With this simulation students can move objects on a seesaw to learn about balance and test what they have learned by trying the Balance Challenge game.

Sample learning objectives include:

*Predict how objects of various masses can be used to make a plank balance.

*Predict how changing the...

This simulation allows students to arrange positive and negative charges in space and view the resulting electric field and electrostatic potential. They can plot equipotential lines, discover their relationship to the electric field and create models of dipoles, capacitors, and more!

Sample Learning...

Ball on a tether released (horizontal plane)

Circular motion: ball on tether released (vertical plane)

Circular motion: horizontal ball in a hoop (Tim holding)

Circular motion: vertical ball in hoop (Tim holding)

Collisions: inelastic collision top view

Collisions: inelastic little spin

Collisions: oblique collision

Collisions: rebound (v-t)

Collision: small mass into large mass

Collisions: equal mass straight (x-t)

In this simulation, students create a rainbow by mixing red, green, and blue light. They change the wavelength of a monochromatic beam or filter white light and can view the light as a solid beam, or see the individual photons.

Learning objectives could include:

*Determine what colour the person sees...

With this simulation, students build an understanding of solution concentration by varying amounts of solute, solvent, and solution. Experimenting with several different chemicals in solid and concentrated solution form, students can develop qualitative and quantitative relationships.
