In this learning activity you'll explore normal distribution and enter values for the mean and the standard deviation of normally distributed data and observe the resulting changes in the shape of the normal curve.
Normally Open vs. Normally Closed Pressure Control Valves
In this animated activity, learners examine the operation of normally open and normally closed valves used in hydraulics. A brief quiz completes the learning object.
Building Core Abilities During Student Learning Through Formative and Summative Assessment
This learning object gives instructors an opportunity to review the definitions of formative and summative assessment and list examples of the evaluations they use. In a drag and drop exercise, they classify a variety of assessment tools as either formative or summative.
Determining Empirical and Molecular Formulas (Screencast)
Learners follow a four-step process to determine the empirical formula of a compound from the masses of its constituent elements. The molecular formula is determined in a fifth step using the molecular weight of the compound.
The Formation of Ester Bonds in the Synthesis of Lipids
In this animated object, learners examine the formation of ester bonds in the synthesis of lipids using triglyceride biosynthesis as an example. Ester bond formation is described as a dehydration synthesis reaction.
In this animated object, learners examine the PDF (portable document format), which has become the standard file format in the printing industry for the distribution of printable documents.
In this animated learning object, users view the process of entering a formula in an Excel spreadsheet. Several different methods and associated examples are given.
