University of Colorado: Ph Et Interactive Simulations: Basics

An interactive simulation will heat, cool and compress atoms and molecules. Watch as they change between solid, liquid and gas phases. Recognize that different substances have different properties which will affect the temperatures for...

An interactive simulation with weights and scales that teaches about balancing chemical equations and conservation of mass. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and includes handouts, lesson plans, and additional...

An interactive simulation that teaches about gravitational force, Newton's Third Law, and force pairs by varying properties affect the gravitational force exerted between two objects. This simulation can either be downloaded or played...

An interactive simulation that teaches about molecules, photons, and absorption by exploring how light interacts with molecules in our atmosphere. Through this simulation students can get a better understanding of the importance of the...

An interactive simulation with balloons and a sweater that teaches about static electricity, electric charges, and electric force. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and includes handouts, lesson plans, and...

An interactive simulation that teaches about Beer's Law, solutions, concentration, spectrophotometry, and more through observations to explore how much light is absorbed and transmitted with changes in thickness and color. This...

An interactive simulation that teaches about photons, monochromatic light, white light, and rainbows through changing wavelengths, beams, filters, and color combinations. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and...

An interactive simulation that teaches about force and potential energy by changing variables to stretch and compress springs. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and includes handouts, lesson plans, and additional...

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 Ohm's Law, circuits, and current by observing how adjusting the voltage and resistance changes current according to Ohm's Law. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and...
