Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Competition
An interactive activity where students study how two species of producers are affected by a consumer. By completing several virtual experiments and collecting data, students will be able to summarize what plants can do to defend...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Diffusion
An activity to understand how diffusion is a result of random motion and collisions of particles. With the virtual labs, explore how a drop of food coloring into a glass spreads and how perfume diffuses at different temperatures and...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Radiant Energy Flow
A virtual lab to look at the physical features of Earth that affect the amount of the Sun's energy that hits Earth. Students investigate how solar and infrared radiations enters and leaves the atmosphere with this model. Virtual lab...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Will There Be Enough Fresh Water?
Using groundwater models, students will analyze whether there will be enough fresh water available for the growing human population. Students will investigate how groundwater moves, what surface water is, and how we can use water...
PBS
Pbs: The Science of Fire
A virtual experiment bringing you to the center of combustion! Understand how fire ignites, what makes a flame, and how molecules rearrange themselves in chemical reactions. This interactive activity gives students four different...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: The Virtual Ecosystem
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.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: The Virtual Field
A virtual lab that explores how offspring inherit different traits from their parents. Investigate these traits both in animals and plants. Understand that variations in offspring can lead to traits that allow survival. Lab includes...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: The Virtual Greenhouse
A virtual greenhouse to study how plants adapt to live in different environments. Students will "plant" three different types of plants that thrive with different amounts of sunlight. Lab includes questions that could be saved and graded...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Variations and Adaptations
Experiment with variations in grass to see which size grows best with different amounts of water. Understand that grass that can live in different levels and change to its environment has a better chance of surviving. Also, experiment...
