Use a virtual scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to observe electron behavior in an atomic-scale world. Walk through the principles of this technology step-by-step. First learn how the STM works. Then…
…simulates a jumper and parachute system. Will real-world results confirm the mathematical model? This hands-on activity requires a motion sensor and the free SensorConnector app. (InquirySpace Activity 5 of 7.)…
Learn about exponential decay in real-world situations. Problems involve the application of depreciation of an asset and radioactive decay. Learn to apply exponential decay equations and interpret graphs. This is…
Learn to apply linear equations and their graphs to real-world problems. Write an equation based on a word problem, and graph the line described by your equation. Relate the equation…
The microscopic world is full of phenomena very different from what we see in everyday life. Some of those phenomena can only be explained using quantum mechanics. This activity introduces…
…game-like environment where students experiment with dragon genetics, engage in critical thinking, and write scientific arguments. Teachers play an active role, guiding students’ understanding and making connections to real-world genetics….
Learn about exponential growth in real-world situations. Problems involve the application of compound interest and exponential population growth. This is the second of three activities for teaching and learning about…
…real-world data as you explore the interactions of factors that affect a region’s air quality. You will not be able to answer the module’s framing question at the end of…
Enter the virtual world of Geniverse where students explore heredity and genetics by breeding and studying virtual dragons. In this activity, control the process of meiosis and fertilization in dragons….
