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

In this animated object, learners examine the operation of a thermal flowmeter used in process control applications. A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this animated object, learners examine how thermal energy is transferred by conduction, convection, and radiation. A brief quiz completes the activity.

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.

Learners study the effect of reflected and transmitted energy on the measurement of emitted energy by a non-blackbody. A short quiz completes the activity.

Learners examine graphs and read that the heat of fusion is the heat energy absorbed by one mole of solid as it is converted to liquid, while the heat of vaporization is the heat energy absorbed by one mole of liquid as it is converted to gas.

In this animated activity, learners explore three major methods of heat transfer and practice identifying each.

In this lesson on atomic structure, learners examine how the binding energy of electrons affects light production in certain phosphors used in x-rays.

Learners examine how melting, vaporization, and sublimation require energy input while freezing and condensation release energy.

Learners examine devices that are used to protect a motor from damage, such as fuses, overload heaters, and thermal protectors. A quiz completes the activity.

Learners read about how universities, government agencies, energy companies, and nanotech firms are working together to use nanotechnology to help produce clean water for consumption.

In this animated activity, learners view the following physics concepts in action: force, friction, horsepower, work, power, inefficiency, resistance, inertia, and energy.

In this interactive learning object, students view the ammeter connections for measuring currents in a parallel circuit with three branches on an energy concepts lab board. A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this animated object, students observe how ATP energy is used to move substances across the cell membrane from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration and when something too large needs to get in or out of a cell.

In this animated activity, learners examine the conversion of electrical energy into an electrostatic charge within the dielectric material of a capacitor.

In this screencast, learners examine the steps of carbohydrate digestion.

In this interactive object, learners examine problem areas related to patients with arthritic conditions. They also identify treatment precautions and design a treatment plan.

In this animated object, learners view molecules as they collide and move between two different solutions. They also observe what happens when the temperature of the solutions is raised or lowered.

In this screencast, learners examine the properties of the hydrogen bond and how the bond changes when hair is shampooed or styled.
