In this animated activity, learners view the various hand, arm, and shoulder muscles in action. The students test their knowledge of the location of the muscles in a drag-and-drop exercise.
In this animated activity, learners study how the magnetic field of an armature can distort the DC motor's main magnetic field. A brief quiz completes the object.
In this animated object, learners study the rotation of the magnetic stator field of an AC motor and how it interacts with the armature to cause rotation. A short quiz completes the activity.
Records Management: Applying ARMA Rules to Business Filing
In this interactive object, learners apply their knowledge of the Association of Records Managers and Administrators (ARMA) filing rules by organizing and filing records alphabetically, numerically, and by subject.
Estate Planning: The Process of Transferring a Farm
Learners examine 10 steps to consider when passing on farm assets including financial security, partnerships, taxes, lease agreements, gifting, and treatment of heirs.
Learners examine an animated motion-controlled robotic arm and observe the operation of a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control that makes movements quickly without overshooting or having a steady-state error. This activity has audio content.
Explore vertical hydroponic growing with Fork Farms and FVTC. We'll introduce you to what vertical hydroponic growing is, why it's important to our economy and the environment, and how you can get started.
In this interactive exercise, learners review definitions of 26 terms and then test their knowledge in a matching exercise. Only six terms are included in the quiz; however, if the learner clicks “Restart,” more terms appear in random order.
This learning object describes the production of an alternating current in a generator with a single-loop armature. An illustration of how a sine wave is produced is shown through animation.
Learners examine an animation that shows how an AC voltage is produced as an armature rotates within a magnetic field. Ten review questions complete the learning object.
Learners study the interaction between the conductors of the stator and the armature inside a DC motor, which causes the shaft to rotate. A short quiz completes the activity.
In part 2 of this series, learners follow the steps of the “mathemagician” to examine these numerical curiosities: The 189 Challenge; An Armstrong Number: What’s Special About 153? Is 495 Different or Indifferent? Is 6174 Different or Indifferent? It is always 618, and Beginning and Ending the Same.
Single-Phase Motors: Introduction to Phase-Splitting
Learners will understand how the interaction of the armature magnetic field and the rotating stator field cause the rotor of a single-phase AC motor to turn.
