Newton's First Law of Motion - Video
By Kim Ristow
The learner views several animations to study Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as "The Law of Inertia."
The Formation of Ester Bonds in the Synthesis of Lipids
By Richard Wilkosz
In this animated object, learners examine the formation of ester bonds in the synthesis of lipids using triglyceride biosynthesis as an example. Ester bond formation is described as a dehydration synthesis reaction.
Biomolecules - The Proteins
By Barbara Liang
In this animated object, learners read an introduction to protein structure and function.
The Neuromuscular Junction
In this animated object, learners examine the major events that occur at the neuromuscular junction.
The Stress Response
In this animated object, learners read a brief description of the roles of the hypothalamus, emotions, and adrenal secretions during the stress response.
Microbial Flora in Body Sites
By Dawn Madl
In an interactive exercise, learners identify the human body sites that harbor a normal resident flora and the sites that are sterile.
Biomolecules: The Proteins (Video)
By Becky Polk-Pohlman
Explore what proteins are, their structure, and their functions.
Eukaryotic Cells: Assembling the Cell
By Kristine Snow
In this interactive object, learners read the definitions of the parts of a cell and assemble a basic eukaryotic cell in a drag and drop exercise. A matching quiz involving cell terms and their definitions completes the activity.
The Axial Skeleton: The Skull and the Rib Cage
In this animated object, learners examine the eight cranial bones, the fourteen facial bones, and the ribs.
Body Sections and Divisions of the Abdominal Pelvic Cavity
In this animated activity, learners examine how organs are visualized in three dimensions. The terms “longitudinal,” “cross,” “transverse,” “horizontal,” and “sagittal” are defined. Students test their knowledge of the location of abdominal pelvic cavity organs in two drag-and-drop exercises.
The Cell: Passive Transport Diffusion (Video)
By Wisc-Online
Explore what passive transport diffusion is and how it moves water through a membrane.
Tissue Identification
In this learning activity you'll review the structure and function of the different tissues of the human body.
Biomolecules: The Carbohydrates (Video)
Viewers watch an introduction to monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. The processes for dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis.
Naming Binary Ionic Compounds Containing Fixed Oxidation State Cations
By Debbie McClinton, Dr. Miriam Douglass, Dr. Martin McClinton
Learners examine a table containing the names of common cations and anions.
Biomolecules - The Lipids (Video)
In this animated object, learners examine neutral fats, phospholipids, and cholesterol. The molecular formula and general function for each are shown.
Skin and the Integumentary System
Learners examine the structure and function of skin including the production of melanin.
Energy in Chemical Reactions
By Dr. Miriam Douglass
In this animated and interactive object, learners examine kinetic and potential energy as well as the first law of thermodynamics and the flow of energy between a system and its surroundings. Students also answer questions about exothermic and endothermic reactions
Atomic Structure and Ionic Bonding
By Jill Larson
In this animated object, learners examine the chemistry behind table salt.
Dental Charting
The purpose of this learning object is to introduce the dental hygienist to the process of documenting a patient's dentition.
The Mole and Avogadro's Number
Learners examine how chemists use moles to "count" atoms by weight. Examples are given.
The Brain - Anatomy and Function
By Susan Heitman
Learners review and reinforce their knowledge of brain anatomy and function in this learning activity.
Types of Elements in the Periodic Table and Their Properties (Screencast)
By Debbie McClinton, Dr. Martin McClinton
In this screencast, we review the positions of metals, metalloids, and nonmetals in the Periodic Table and the general characteristics of each.
What Is Electricity?
By Terry Bartelt
The learner studies how electrons travel from one atom to the next. Examples demonstrate how voltage is created by the use of a battery or through magnetism. A quiz completes the activity.
The Appendicular Skeleton (Screencast)
In this screencast, learners examine the bones of the appendicular skeleton.
The Sense of Sight (Screencast)
In this screencast, learners read about the parts of the eye.
