An incredible series of illustrated pages that explain polarization, polarized light and its effects, and polarized filters and sunglasses. Features interactive Java applets.

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

This is an interesting geometry project that goes back to the time of Archimedes, the famous Greek mathematician. You can combine this mathematical project with computer science and take this ancient problem into the twenty-first century...

In this activity, students will explore several different models of the hydrogen atom and compare and contrast them using an online java applet.

This interactive site uses applets to show sample graphs of each simple power function, a function plotter, graph puzzles, and more. Great site.

This is demonstration of how the law of sines works. It uses Java applets to manipulate the triangle and allows the user to explore what happens to the values of the triangle as the sides are changed.

An interactive tool to discover how the trig functions came to be. Applets are used in this interactive learning tool. Examples exercises are also given.

An excellent place to test your ability to recognize the graphs of sine and cosine and their various associated forms. A Java applet is also included to plot your own function.

This applet allows the user to create the graphs of sin, cos, and tan by moving a scroll bar. The user can watch the unit circle and the graph simultaneously to see how the two are related. The user may also choose to see the angle...

An interactive java applet model allows students to explore vectors. Students can practice finding the direction and magnitude of a vector given its x and y-components as well as practice finding the x and y-components given a vector's...

Students explore binomial coefficients through this downloadable java applet. A table and graph is provided.

This Java applet simulation explores vector addition of two vectors in two dimensions. Given the magnitude and direction, students must determine the vector components.

Great page for the general background and biochemistry of the molecule. This version of the Bristol University site offers a Java Applet version of the molecule that offers 3-D manipulation of the molecule. The CHIME version is better,...

This is a general Physics course from simple concepts such as the rectilinear movement to more complex as the energy bands of solids. Interactivity is achieved by the 646 applets embedded in web pages that are simulations of physical...

Begin by watching this captivating video showing how the concepts of similarity and congruence are found in road signs. Following the video [1:27], an interactive applet allows students to resize, flip, move and rotate triangles to...

It's hard enough to weigh something as itty bitty as atoms or molecules. Factor in that they're careening by faster than Jeff Gordon on steroids, and you get an idea what scientists are up against. Using comet particles from NASA's...

Students use this computer applet to visualize the Pythagorean Theorem.

This applet is similar to the stoichiometry simulation but applies to chemical reactions that do not go to completion. The calculation of the equilibrium state of such reactions is typically covered months after students learn how to...

Students will use this computer applet to simulate water running out of a tube. By varying the tube diameter and noting time changes and the height of the water in the tube students will create a formula to fit the curves of height...

Here is a project that combines Computer Science and Mathematics. The two circles are tangent to one another at point A. Their diameters are parallel. Prove that points A, D and F are co-linear. You'll also learn how to create an...

Here is a project that combines Computer Science and Mathematics. The semicircle has two tangent lines that meet at point T. You need to prove that a line drawn from A to T bisects CD. You'll also learn how to create an interactive...

A list of five virtual chemistry topics with Java applets on the electronic structure of coordination compounds. Covers crystal field theory, CFT energy level splitting, color in gems, the spectrochemical series, and ligand properties.

Young scholars and teacher play a game called "Fraction King" to understand the idea of taking fractional parts of whole numbers then use manipulatives and several computer applets to cement the idea.
