In this animated and interactive object, learners view two examples of how to subtract fractions with unlike denominators and then work five similar problems.
Learners follow step-by-step instructions for dividing algebraic fractions. They begin by reducing the fractions to their simplest form. Immediate feedback is provided. This activity has audio content.
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 follow step-by-step instructions for finding the lowest common denominator for a group of algebraic fractions and then enter their answers to three problems. Immediate feedback is provided. This activity has audio content.
Solving Equations that Contain Algebraic Fractions
Learners use the lowest common denominator to simplify and then solve equations with algebraic fractions. Immediate feedback is provided. This animated object has audio content.
In this interactive object, learners follow step-by-step instructions for reducing algebraic fractions so that they can then be multiplied. This activity has audio content.
Learners examine the function of each part of a microscope and follow step-by-step instructions on how to focus on a specimen. They also review the proper use and care of a microscope and test their knowledge in two drag-and-drop exercises.
How Adding Parallel Branches Decreases Total Resistance
In this animated object, learners follow an analogy of water flowing through pipes and valves to see how resistance decreases in a parallel circuit as branches are added.
Learners study the effect that pressure has on boiling temperatures. Once a liquid has reached a full boil, additional heat does not raise the liquid’s temperature; however, pressure can vary the boiling point of a liquid. A brief quiz completes the activity.
How Adding Parallel Branches Increases Total Current
In this animated object, learners follow an analogy of water flowing through pipes and valves to see how current increases in a parallel circuit as branches are added.
