Teaching intermolecular forces can be quite a stretch! Chemistry scholars experiment with the attractive strength between polar molecules using an interactive resource. Learners test molecules of low, medium, and high polarities by...

Why is there so much frozen water at Earth's poles? Because water is a polar molecule! Young scientists observe polar molecules moving in a mixture of oil and water. They see the changes in potential energy in the hydrophilic and...

Go to extremes to illustrate boiling point! Junior chemists explore the effects of heating and cooling on polar and non-polar substances. The interactive allows users to raise and lower the temperature, set specific temperatures, and...

Have you reached your breaking point in looking for great resources that illustrate bond energy? Demonstrate the potential energy changes that occur when polar and non-polar bonds are broken with a stimulating simulation. Pupils pull on...

How does hydrogen bonding explain ice crystals? An engaging interactive answers just that. Scholars explore how polar molecules interact and observe the changes as temperature fluctuates as well as the hydrogen bond attraction.

Why does like dissolve like? While in many cases opposites attract, the same cannot be said for chemistry! Solution scholars take an up-close look at the dissolving process with a customizable interactive. The resource allows users to...

Micelles consist of an aggregate of molecules in a colloidal solution. The simulation presents two different ways the molecules assemble into micelles based on the polarity of the solution in which they are placed. Scholars can set the...

If you don't get along with someone, it's said that the two of you are like oil and water. Why is this? Explore the phenomenon and explain the phrase in one resource! Science superstars first observe samples of oil and water together....

How can non-polar molecules be attracted to one another? Introduce the phenomenon of London dispersion forces to young chemists through an entertaining interactive. Pupils choose from a variety of molecular shape combinations, then pull...

Can scientists sort molecules based on their interaction with oil and water? The simulation demonstrates how this is possible. Pupils decide when to insert a molecule and observe how they sort themselves based on polarity.

Ahh, the rules of attraction...intermolecular attraction! Introduce your chemistry crew to the other forces that influence the behavior of atoms and molecules alike with a simple interactive. Pupils push and pull polar and non-polar...

Is it getting hot in here? Observe boiling from inside a beaker in an engaging interactive. Chemistry scholars heat and cool polar and non-polar solids and observe how molecules react to temperature changes. Your class' misconceptions...

Which intermolecular force is the strongest? Scholars test the relative strength of London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, and induced dipoles using a simulator. The interactive allows learners to pull on paired molecules...

The potential energy of peptides varies over time as they fold. An exploratory simulation encourages pupils to play with various strands of amino acids to observe the folding and potential energy levels. Young scientists generate all...
