An interactive simulation that teaches about gravitational force, circular motion, and astronomy by manipulating the sun, earth, moon, and a space station to observe the effects of gravity and orbital paths. This simulation can either be...

An interactive simulation that teaches about Faraday's Law, magnets, and magnetic fields by showing how a change in the magnetic flux can produce a flow of electricity. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and...

An interactive simulation that teaches about the lunar landing, the moon, and mass by observing how changes in mass and thrust affect fuel consumption while trying to avoid a boulder field and put a lunar lander on the moon. This...

An interactive simulation that teaches about motion, acceleration, and velocity by allowing students to build their own solar system and watch the effects of gravitational pull and how that changes with initial position, velocity, and...

An interactive simulation that teaches about periodic motion, simple harmonic motion, and conservation of energy. Observe one or two pendulums to determine how the swing is influenced by the length of the string, the mass of the pendulum...

In this online interactive activity, you will align tree ring cores to build a long chronology of climate history.

In this lesson, students are required to work in teams to simulate the volume of blood moving through the circulatory system by transferring blliquid into-and through-a series of containers.

A comprehensive set of virtual experiment assignments where students explore four factors that affect the population demographics of seven countries, including population size and structure, mortality, and birth rate. Includes background...

In this lesson middle schoolers will use water balloons to simulate the effects of gravity and microgravity on fluid distribution in the body.

Neurotransmitters can either stimulate the next neuron to send a signal or inhibit that neuron from sending a signal. Certain chemicals change the way signals are sent and received. In this lesson students will understand this concept by...

This lesson plan focuses on viruses, particularly the Swine Flu, and allows students opportunities to simulate how viruses spread and the results.

This is an interesting project that explores which geometrical shapes make the strongest bridge truss structures. It is a good introduction to the engineering design process. You'll design three different trusses, and use online...

The goal of this electricity and electronics science fair project is to understand how ions are used to propel spacecraft in space, and to use a NASA online simulator to design your own ion engine. The Science Buddies project ideas are...

Experience the excitement of the 21st Century tools by developing virtual worlds, simulations and more in your classrooms with Immersive Education.

Students investigate sound in their environment, particularly how sounds impact their lives. At the beginning of the unit, students use online simulations to investigate the properties of sound and learn about the components of a sound...

Article at LD Online provides 10 tips to guide teachers and parents in selecting instructional math software. The focus is on instructional software such as concept development, drill and practice, tutorial and simulation software rather...

View a computer model simulation from NOVA Online that illustrates what happens during a magnetic field reversal, an infrequent occurrence that may be currently underway.
