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.

Learners perform the steps required for the Ziegler-Nichols Reaction Curve Tuning Method. The process identification procedure is performed, calculations are made, and the proper PID values are programmed into the controller.

Learners study the mathematical calculations used to determine the proper PID values to be entered into a controller using the Ziegler-Nichols Reaction Curve.

In this interactive object, learners follow the steps required for the Ziegler-Nichols Continuous Cycling method. The process identification procedure is performed, calculations are made, and the proper PID values are programmed into the controller.

Learners examine the formulas that are used to determine the proper PID values to be entered into a controller using the Ziegler-Nichols Continuous Cycling Tuning Method.

In this animated object, learners view a race of two boats as an example of how the derivative function of a PID controller shortens the time duration of an operation.

Learners follow steps for reading a P&ID diagram of a closed-loop circuit.

Learners study the types of symbols used on a P&ID diagram to indicate instruments. A quiz completes the activity.

Students view the operation of a process controls system and examine the components and their function to prepare to work with the actual system.

Learners follow the steps required to perform the Ziegler-Nichols reaction curve process identification procedure.

In this animated and interactive object, learners follow steps to perform the process identification procedure for the Ziegler-Nichols Continuous Cycling Tuning Method. A short quiz completes the activity.

Learners study the types of information letters and numbers placed inside general piping and instrumentation diagram symbols.

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 learning object, learners view how the fats that people eat are digested and absorbed.

In this animated object, learners examine neutral fats, phospholipids, and cholesterol. The molecular formula and general function for each are shown.
