[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In the following online tutorial, students will begin to describe the electron-sea model of metallic bonding. They will explain how metallic bonding is responsible...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Describes the metallic bond and properties of metals. Includes review questions.

Given scenarios or diagrams, students will describe the nature of metallic bonding and explain properties such as thermal and electrical conductivity, malleability, and ductility of metals.

Experiment with conductivity in metals, plastics and photoconductors. See why metals conduct and plastics don't, and why some materials conduct only when you shine a flashlight on them. Java required.

This site provides a general overview of the metals in the periodic table. Content explores the different types of metals, and how you can identify a metal.

The Applied Science resource consists of practical activities that demonstrate the importance of standard procedures in scientific work. Students examine electrical properties through a variety of activities. Some topics investigated are...

Information about what solids are and properties associated with solid matter.

An excellent page from the Colorado State University with a heavy mathematical emphasis. Each form of heat transfer--conduction, convection, and radiation--is defined, compared, and contrasted. Mathematical equations governing the rates...

A set of tables summarizing a great many chemical and physical properties of platinum.

This site from the Colorado State University discusses the tranfer of heat by conduction and convection. Discussion centers around the application of these two heat transfer mechanisms to engines. The variables that effect the resistance...

As young scholars learn more about the manufacturing process, they use what they learned from testing their designs in the previous activity to continue to improve and redesign. Students also have the opportunity to manufacture their...
