In this learning activity you'll evaluate the six trig functions using a scientific calculator.

In this learning object the student will learn how to measure a stain and calculate angles of impact. Determining the angle of impact for bloodstains takes advantage of the trigonometric functions (Sine function).

A mathematical relationship exists between the width and length of an elliptical bloodstain which allows for the calculation of the angle of the impact for the original spherical drop of blood.

Given well formed stains we can accurately measure the width and length by simply dividing the stain along it’s major and minor axis. The opposite halves would be generally equal to each other which aids in establishing the impact angle.

Formulas and Functions in Microsoft Excel

A learning object to illustrate the right way to enter formulas and functions in Excel.

In this interactive object, students use the Law of Sines to calculate forces.

In this interactive object, learners use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate forces.

Learners examine how metal detectors function. This object includes animation and sound.

In this interactive object, learners use the Law of Cosines to calculate forces.

In this animated object, learners examine the switch settings for the on-delay, off-delay, and one-shot timing functions of an optical sensor. A brief quiz completes the activity.

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.

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.

Learners read how to calculate the MOD number and how it is used.

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.

Students view the development of the transfer function for a RC high pass filter. They also read how a Bode plot is developed through simple approximation techniques for both the magnitude and phase.

In this learning activity you'll discover how to evaluate a problem statement using both the MEA and the IP Techniques.

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.

In this learning activity you'll play "How to Really Be a Millionaire" to learn the basics of accumulating wealth.

Learners read how the transfer function for a RC high pass filter is developed. The transfer function is used in Excel to graph the Vout. The circuit is also simulated in Electronic WorkBench and the resulting Bode plot is compared to the graph from Excel.

In this interactive learning activity, learners explore factors that contribute to the aging process. Learners calculate their age based on biological, psychological, and social experiences. Further reflection allows the learner to consider options and assess issues that impact the aging process.

This screencast will help the student identify normal blood cells and their functions. This will include the identification of red blood cells, five types of white blood cells, and platelets.

In this learning activity you'll explore how computers connected on a network use Ethernet technology.
