Students create a three-dimensional model of the sun. In this solar system instructional activity, students design a scale model of the sun using plasticine.

Students compute the area of triangles in a computer program. In this measurement lesson plan, students complete 5 easy, 5 medium, and 5 hard problems.

This page give a nice definition of Java applets and two examples of an applet. Download the files and try it yourself!

Here is a project that combines Computer Science and Mathematics. Prove a method for inscribing a circle within a triangle (as shown). You'll also learn how to create an interactive diagram to illustrate your proof, using an applet that...

The Applet assists the user in questions which specify a probability and ask for the relevant range of raw scores or z scores. The program will also transform from raw to z scores and back again, if needed.

The Applet illustrates how to use the old-fashioned tables of normal probabilities and areas under the normal distribution cureve to arrive at corresponding graphs of the areas. A good resource for the topic.

Although specifically designed for physics students at Caltech, anyone interested in learning more about electricity, magnetism or various other physical phenomena can benefit by exploring these interactive applets. A circuit tutorial...

The interactive applet explores perimeter. Students count the number of free edges to determine the perimeter of boxes.

If you have a browser that supports Java, you may find this site interesting. A series of Applets allow you to investigate wave generation and behavior.

An interactive Java applet which allows the user to investigate the path of light through a lens shape object. The shape of the object, the index of refraction of the material, and the location of the incident rays can be altered.

The applet is a target at which green darts are shot either with a strict correlation to each other or without -- the user defines this. A good example of how bivariate data is truly influenced by two variables, possibly dependent upon...

Written by Paul Falstad, these educational Java applets address myriad concepts related to electrostatics, magnetostatics and electrodynamics. You'll find instructions on how to operate each applet, but little explanatory material.

What a lovely little applet! You can speed/slow it, change it from AC to DC, plot the voltage as it rotates, change direction, control other information. Real neat.

One of the first numerical problems encountered in introductory chemistry is that of "limiting reagents". This applet serves as a supplement to such calculations, providing imagery that helps students see beyond the rote mathematics.

This Applet will assist the user in questions which specify a range of raw scores or z-scores and ask for a probability associated with them.

This Applet allows the user to grab and drag the ends of the included region below the standard normal curve to the appropriate places needed. The user directly experiences the connection between the shaded area under the curve and the...

In this applet, rolling of dice is studied. The number that lands face "up" on the die is graphed as the die is rolled repeatedly. The user begins to see, with increased accuracy, the standard normal curve appearing as the graph.

This site includes an applet on Le Chatelier's principle. The applet allows the user to specify the initial amounts of carbon, water vapor, hydrogen gas, and carbon monoxide as well as the system temperature and volume. The applet will...

Nice site explaining how to find the area under a curve by using a Java applet. The applet computes the area of a figure made of rectangles which approximates the region under the given curve.

Learn how the ambiguous case of the law of sines arises from the ASS situation and how to solve problems of this type. Definitely use the applet to visualize the two distinct outcomes that are possible and to understand the circumstances...

This applet allows you to plot up to fifty points and it will display a best fit line and give you the slope of that line.

In this activity students are exposed to the concept of sampling distributions by creating an example as a class. By having the students assemble the data, they can more readily understand that a sampling distribution is made up of a...

The binary number system is used to represent data in digital form. This site provides a binary calculator that will convert between binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal, perform simple addition and subtraction, and do compliment and...

Choose one of three boxes and choose one ball from the box to look at conditional probabilities.
