Voltage and Current Amplitudes in a Series RLC Circuit
By Terry Bartelt
Learners examine how voltages and currents vary in a series RLC circuit as the applied frequency changes.
Motor Loading
Students view a graphical explanation of how the motor condition (unloaded, 50 percent loaded, fully loaded) affects the phase between voltage and current, the current draw from the AC supply, the amount of power consumed, and the power factor.
Volts Per Hertz Ratio
In this animated and interactive object, learners examine why the voltage produced by an AC drive must be increased when its frequency is increased due to inductive reactance.
Conductors, Insulators and Resistors
In this animated activity, learners examine why various materials are conductors, insulators, or resistors of current. A short quiz completes the learning object.
Calibrating an Opposed Optical Sensor
In this animated and interactive object, learners follow three steps to calibrate an opposed optical sensor. They consider horizontal alignment, the sensitivity setting, and having an effective beam.
The Thevenin Theorem
By Patrick Hoppe
This animated object allows students to examine the four steps used to reduce a complex circuit to a simple series circuit.
Identifying Engineering Notation
By Ron Wallberg
The learner will represent very large and very small numbers in engineering notation.
Barriers to Critical Thinking: Being Human
By Therese Nemec
The learner will explore basic human limitations that create barriers to critical thinking including selective thinking, false memories, and perceptual limitations.
Electrical Shocks
By Terry Bartelt, Pat Jensen
In this learning activity, we’ll explore the impact of electric shock on the human body.
Automotive Electrical Systems: Ohm's LawPractice Problems #2
By Andrew Rinke, Patrick Hoppe
Learners review Ohm's Law and then work 12 problems to help them apply the law to automotive electrical systems. In each of the problems, students are given two of the three variables (voltage, resistance, or current) and are asked to solve for the third.
Weight-Volume Relationships: Saturated Unit Weight
By Steve Whitmoyer
Students read how to determine and calculate the saturated unit weight for a given sample of soil or aggregate, based on the weight-volume relationship. Practice problems complete the activity.
How Adding Parallel Branches Increases Total Current
In this animated object, learners follow an analogy of water flowing through pipes and valves to see how current increases in a parallel circuit as branches are added.
Clinical Crown and Root
By Gail Bohlman
Students identify the enamel, cementum, cementoenamel junction, clinical crown, clinical root, and epithelial attachment of a tooth.
Boolean Theorems (Single Variable)
Students analyze the eight single variable Boolean theorems and their expressions.
The Impact of Batch Size Reduction
By Kaye Krueger
In this animated object, learners examine what happens to lead and cycle times when the batch size is reduced.
Normally Open vs. Normally Closed Pressure Control Valves
In this animated activity, learners examine the operation of normally open and normally closed valves used in hydraulics. A brief quiz completes the learning object.
Six Sigma Process Performance Analysis
By Lee Binz
Students examine examples for calculation yield, throughput yield, rolled throughput yield, and payback, each of which is used to analyze process performance in a Six Sigma project.
Veterinary Respiratory System Drugs
By Laura Lien
In this interactive object, learners sort veterinary respiratory drugs into categories.
The Human Heart and the Cardiovascular System (Screencast)
By Ann Jadin
In this screencast, learners identify the parts of the cardiovascular system and examine blood flow.
Gage Blocks
By Barbara Anderegg
In this learning activity you'll explore the history behind gage blocks.
Sexual Harassment: The Three Types
In this learning activity, you'll identify the three types of sexual harassment.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Explore the different types of personal protective equipment, which protects you against workplace hazards
Multiplexers
In this animated object, learners examine the operation of a multiplexer and the function of the data input and selector lines. A brief quiz completes the activity.
Processes of Science
By Dawn Matott
The purpose of this learning object is to introduce the learner to the different processes of science.
The Relay
In this animated lesson, students view the operation of an electromechanical relay. A brief quiz concludes the activity.
