Learners observe that the melting of a solid and the freezing of its liquid occur at the same temperature. The melting point is an intrinsic property and is used to identify a substance.
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.
Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by molecules in the gas phase in equilibrium with a liquid or a solid. Two examples are used to illustrate vapor pressure: the drying of clothes and the evaporation of ice.
Boyle's Law states that gas volume varies inversely with the pressure at constant temperature and is described by the equation PV = constant. An example of a sample of gas at two conditions of P and V is used to illustrate the law.
Learners examine the function of the analog wattmeter to measure true power, how it is connected in a circuit, and how the internal components develop a measurement. A brief quiz completes the activity.
Current and Voltage Parameters of Digital Circuitry (Screencast)
In this interactive learning object, students read about the voltage and current parameters commonly found on a data sheet. A brief quiz completes the activity.
Chytrids, as members of this group are known, are found everywhere. In this animated learning object, students examine the role of chytrids and their impact on the environment.
In this animated and interactive object, learners examine the inverse proportionality of wavelength and frequency and their relationship to the speed of light.
