Explore the factors that affect a spring’s motion. A spring is a resilient device that can be pressed or pulled but return to its original shape when released. Springs are commonly helical coiled metal devices. When a spring is compressed or stretched and then released, it will vibrate at a particular frequency. This frequency is […]
Explore the interactions between a charged balloon and a neutral wall at the atomic-level.
Map the probable locations of electrons around a nucleus to understand probability distributions and the electron cloud model.
How does solar radiation interact with the Earth and its atmosphere to cause global warming? Use this model to see what’s going on at the molecular level. Watch the effects of sunlight and then watch the effects of infrared radiation, also known as heat radiation, on the ground and on carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.
Manipulate the magnitude of charges on two objects to get a third positively charged particle to hit a target.
Drag the location of charges to get a positively charged particle to the target while observing forces and fields.
Manipulate the location and magnitude of charges to get a positively charged particle to hit a target.
Explore the relationship between the temperature of a gas and the pressure it exerts on its container. This is commonly known as Gay-Lussac’s Law or Amontons’ Law of Pressure-Temperature. As the temperature of a gas increases, the pressure it exerts on its container will increase.
Explore the relationship between the temperature of a gas and its volume. This is commonly known as Charles’s Law. The volume of a gas tends to increase as the temperature increases.
Investigate the relationship between the volume of a gas and the pressure it exerts on its container. This relationship is commonly known as Boyle’s Law. The pressure of a gas tends to decrease as the volume of the gas increases.
