In this sequence, students learn about modeling with SageModeler, a web-based systems dynamics modeling tool. Students define boundaries of the system, label variables, set relationships, make predictions, and run simulations…
In this investigation, students will develop a conceptual model of electrostatic interactions by exploring how various charged objects (Scotch tape, balloons, rods of various materials, and a Van de Graaff…
Unit 1 – Inv. 2: What are factors that affect the interactions between objects? (v2) Learning Resource
In this investigation, students develop a model of electric fields to explain how charged objects interact. Students analyze how the charge on objects and the distance between them affects the…
In this Investigation, students will start by analyzing observations of matter in order to evaluate continuous and particle models of matter. Students will then use evidence from mixing water and…
This investigation follows the historical development of models of atomic structure and provides students with the opportunity to explore simulations of some of the experiments that led to these models….
Students will build upon the model of atomic structure that they developed in the previous investigation. In addition, they will explore the forces involved in maintaining an atom’s structure and…
Our agricultural system is made up of interconnected resources. The availability of these resources affects how much food we can produce.In this module, you will explore the resources that make…
