Students discuss why groups are important and why humans go through daily life performing group activities.

Students, after analyzing the history of a concentrator, model how a Genesis spacecraft concentrator works by playing a game. In groups of three or four, after being given materials to work with, are challenged to roll the rubber balls...

Students decide on what human rights should exist at a new hypothetical planet after watching clips of three videos. They complete journal entries which tell about factors that influence new human rights.

Learners investigate plate tectonics and their correlation with natural phenomena like earthquakes and volcanoes. They use the internet to see real-time data about earthquakes and volcanoes. Students plot latitude and longitude points on...

Students transform a car that they have built out of K'NEX into a solar car. Students add one or two solar cells to the car to power a DC motor then connect the motor to the car and come up with a method to drive the car. This is the...

Second graders create a hypothesis on what objects will attract to magnets. In this magnets lesson plan, 2nd graders use a computer program to create a hypothesis as to what will attract or unattract magnets. For an extension, they test...

Fourth graders complete activities to study the sources of energy and forms. In this energy instructional activity, 4th graders discuss the origin of energy and define it. Students participate in several experiments to further study...

[Free Registration/Login Required] A simulation that uses the classic sports stadium "wave" to learn about concepts important to wave motion and interference.

How are standing wave formations formed? Why are they only formed when the medium is vibrated at specific frequencies? What makes these so-called frequencies so special and magical? These questions are answered in this exploration of...

Concepts of waves and sound are thoroughly presented in animation and film clips.

A physics course web page that features a Java applet in which visitors can observe the waveform resulting from the interference of two waves. The amplitude and wavelength of the interfering waves can be altered and the outcome observed.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Are there colors we don't see? This simulation addresses that question by exploring light as an electromagnetic wave. Learn how the electromagnetic wave relates its wavelength and frequency to the...
