Interpreting Engineering Drawings: Common Abbreviations
In this interactive object, learners read the common abbreviations used in engineering drawings and then test their knowledge in three short exercises.
Finding the Lowest Common Denominator for Algebraic Fractions
In this interactive and animated object, learners follow instructions for finding the lowest common denominator for a group of algebraic fractions. Immediate feedback is provided. This activity has audio content.
The target audience of this learning object is trigonometry students who have already learned what a radian is and have already derived the key values of the coordinates associated with common radian units, but now need to practice finding those values on the unit circle. The student does not need to know the definition of the six trig functions to do this activity.
Common Types of Oxidation-Reduction Reactions (Screencast)
Learners identify combination, decomposition, displacement, and combustion types of redox reactions. They also watch a video clip that demonstrates the reaction of sodium and water.
Adding Fractions With Unlike Denominators (Screencast)
Learners follow steps to add fractions with different denominators. They also review fraction concepts, do a drag-and-drop exercise involving fraction terms, and add fractions with common denominators.
Learners read an explanation of variation and how it can make a process unpredictable. They distinguish between common and special causes of variation in a brief exercise at the end of the lesson.
Students read about the ideal versions of the four common filters (low-pass, high-pass, bandpass, and notch), and view graphical representations of the filters' frequency characteristics.
