Concord Consortium: Energy of a Pendulum
In this interactive, drag a pendulum to set its initial height and observe how height is related to potential energy. Then release the pendulum and observe the change from potential energy to kinetic energy, and ultimately to thermal...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Nonbonding
Bring two molecules together and observe potential energy changes.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Mixing Liquids
Experiment with mixing liquids and observing the volume they take up.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Gas Pressure in a Syringe
Explore why it is difficult to pull back on a capped syringe and why the plunger moves back in when you let go.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Van De Graaff Discharge
Charge up the Van de Graaff generator and drag the discharge wand close enough to form a spark. What happens to the electric potential energy when you charge the Van de Graaff and when the spark occurs?
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Target Game
Steer a charged particle to a target. Place particles in the game and charge them to guide a positive projectile around obstacles to hit a target. You can place any number of charged objects in any location to steer the positive particle...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Exploring Protein 3 D Structure
Build proteins from amino acid components. View the components of a protein (elements, amino acids) in different colors and zoom into several amino acids to understand how they link together to make a larger structure.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Structure of an Atom
Observe the probable location of electrons around an atom. Trace the electrons over time to draw conclusions about where electrons are likely to be found around an atom's nucleus. How does the trace pattern relate to the electron cloud...
