This patient education program explains asthma including the causes, symptoms, and treatment of the disease. This resource is a MedlinePlus Interactive Health Tutorial from the National Library of Medicine, designed and developed by the Patient Education Institute.
How do you know if a chemical equation is balanced? What can you change to balance an equation? Play a game to test your ideas!
Experiment with a helium balloon, a hot air balloon, or a rigid sphere filled with different gases. Discover what makes some balloons float and others sink.
Explore the origin of energy bands in crystals of atoms. The structure of these bands determines how materials conduct electricity.
Look inside a resistor to see how it works. Increase the battery voltage to make more electrons flow though the resistor. Increase the resistance to block the flow of electrons. Watch the current and resistor temperature change.
Look inside a battery to see how it works. Select the battery voltage and little stick figures move charges from one end of the battery to the other. A voltmeter tells you the resulting battery voltage.
The PhET project at the University of Colorado creates "fun, interactive, research-based simulations of physical phenomena." This particular one deals with Beer's Law. "The thicker the glass, the darker the brew, the less the light that passes through." Make colorful concentrated and dilute solutions and explore how much light they absorb and transmit using a virtual spectrophotometer! The simulation is also paired with a teachers' guide and related resources from PhET. The simulation is also available in multiple languages.
Explore bending of light between two media with different indices of refraction. See how changing from air to water to glass changes the bending angle. Play with prisms of different shapes and make rainbows.
La Biotecnología es el conjunto de técnicas, procesos y métodos que utilizan sistemas biológicos y organismos vivos, o alguna de sus partes, para la obtener o modificar una amplia variedad de productos. Entendemos la Biotecnología como un área multidisciplinar que emplea tanto la biología, la química como diferentes procesos. Se utiliza en distintos usos, como puede ser el sector de la agricultura, de la alimentación o en medicina. En definitiva se basa en utilizar la maquinaria de otros seres vivos en beneficio del ser humano.
Los estudiantes diseñan, construyen y prueban vehículos de carreras hechos de bobinas de manualidades.
Los estudiantes diseñan y construyen un bote de arcilla que puede soportar peso.
When will objects float and when will they sink? Learn how buoyancy works with blocks. Arrows show the applied forces, and you can modify the properties of the blocks and the fluid.
Students animate an ocean wave, then tell a story that takes place on the high seas.
Adventure on the High Seas is a one-hour activity designed to be completed within 45-75 minutes. Students will watch a series of videos and create one coding project with opportunities to personalize their work using “Add-Ons,” which are mini-coding challenges that build on top of the core project.
Two characters meet in a world and discover a surprising object. Students get to decide what happens next by creating a story with code.
Students pick a name or word and bring the letters to life through animation, sound, and music.
Students create animations, interactive artwork, photograph filters, and other exciting, artistic projects using code.
Art is a complete theme designed to be completed over eight, 45-75 minute sessions. For each activity, students will watch a series of videos and create one coding project with opportunities to personalize their work using “Add-Ons,” which are mini-coding challenges that build on top of the core project.
Students provide details about a character who is missing a school assignment and use code to describe the character's actions, thoughts, and words.
Students will choose an everyday hero from their own life and build a story or game using code that gives their hero superpowers.
Students bring the Google logo to life using code, utilizing programming and design.
Students program a conversation between two characters to explore the role of dialogue in storytelling.
