Muscle and Connective Tissue
By Barbara Liang
In this colorful and interactive object, learners examine the structure and function of muscle and connective tissues. A quiz completes the activity.
Changes in Our World: Chemical and Physical (Screencast)
By Deb Simonson
In this screencast, learners examine the kinds of physical and chemical changes that occur in substances.
Physiological Events at the Neural Synapse
In this learning activity you'll review information on the neural synapse.
Gas Volume vs. Temperature (Charles's Law)
By Dr. Miriam Douglass, Dr. Martin McClinton
In this animated object, learners examine how gas volume varies directly with absolute temperature (K at constant pressure). An example of a sample of gas at two conditions of volume and temperature is used to illustrate the law.
Passive Transport: Filtration and Facilitated Diffusion
In this animated object, learners examine processes that do not use ATP directly including hydrostatic pressure and facilitated diffusion with carrier proteins.
Conversions in Nursing Math
By Barb Hummel
Learners quiz themselves on the conversion factors within and between the metric, apothecary, and household systems.
Double Replacement Reactions
By Jill Larson
In this interactive object, learners identify charges on ions, write new formulas based on charge, and balance equations using coefficients.
Metabolic Pathways
By Elizabeth Yoon
In this screencast, learners categorize different metabolic activities as catabolic or anabolic and follow a glucose molecule through the processes of glycolysis, aerobic respiration, and fermentation.
The Unipolar and Multipolar Neurons
Learners examine the location, structure, and function of the unipolar and multipolar neurons.
A Typical Animal Cell
By Gerald Heins
In this interactive object, learners identify the parts of an animal cell and its organelles.
Nervous and Epithelial Tissue
In this colorful, interactive object, learners examine nervous and epithelial tissue composition and function. A quiz completes the activity.
The Upper and Lower Motor Neurons (Screencast)
In this screencast, learners examine the function and location of the motor neurons and the damage that can result when they are injured.
The Effect of Temperature on the Vapor Pressure of a Liquid
By Debbie McClinton, Dr. Miriam Douglass, Dr. Martin McClinton
Learners examine how vapor pressure is calculated. The vapor pressure of a liquid increases with increasing temperature. If the heat of vaporization and the vapor pressure at one temperature are known, the vapor pressure at a second temperature can be calculated.
Moles
In this animated object, students are introduced to moles as a measurement.
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
Learners examine the meaning of oxidation, reduction, and half-reaction, and watch a film showing the deposition of copper metal from the reduction of copper (II) ion by aluminum. A brief quiz completes the activity.
Red Blood Cells
In this animated and interactive object, learners examine the red blood cell's life cycle and function. A brief exercise completes the activity.
Phagocyte Chemotaxis
By Carol Parent-Paulson
This animated object illustrates the events leading to the migration of phagocytes into areas of tissue damage and/or bacterial presence. Learners view bacterial cell phagocytosis, its subsequent enzymatic digestion, and exocytosis.
Introduction to Safety in the Chemistry Lab (Video)
By Bruce Bell
Learners read about lab equipment and basic safety measures. In a quiz, they view photos and determine if the lab technicians pictured are using safe practices.
The Three States of Matter
In this animated and interactive object, learners examine the properties of liquids, solids, and gases.
Naming Binary Ionic Compounds Containing Variable Oxidation State Cations (Screencast)
Roman numerals are used to identify the charges on metal cations having multiple oxidation states. Five examples are provided for practice.
Unit Conversions
In this animated and interactive object, learners follow two rules to write unit conversion fractions.

By Wendy Dusek
In this screencast, learners examine the steps of carbohydrate digestion.
The Fungi Kingdom: Common Characteristics of Fungi
Learners examine what defines a fungus and read how fungi differ from animals and plants.
Summary of Energy Yield During Cellular Respiration
By Becky Polk-Pohlman
Learners review a graphic summary of the three series of reactions that occur during cellular respiration and the net energy (ATP) yield of that process.
Measuring Gas Pressure
Learners convert units used to designate pressure. Units for pressure are atm, mm Hg, torr, and pascal.
