How does an object’s speed change as it falls through the atmosphere? When first learning about how objects fall, usually just one force–îgravity–is considered. Such a simplification only accurately describes…
How does water move through Earth’s layers? Use the model templates to explore the differing permeabilities of different sediment types, drill wells into model landscapes, explore the difference between confined…
If the walls of two houses have different insulation values, you would expect the same heater to have a different effect. Suppose you placed thermometers near the wall of each…
…ceilings air circulation is a problem, since it transfers heat. Explore the effect of multiple barriers on the amount of convection and apply this to how insulation should be designed….
Explore the effect of an electric field on the electron distribution of an atom.
…crop production. You will run experiments with computational models to compare the effect of different management strategies on the land. You will not be able to answer the module’s framing…
…ranging from non-polar covalent to ionic. In the model depicted above students adjust the electronegativity of two atoms and see the effect it has on electron distribution and bond type….
In this activity, you will use a model to study the effect of a consumer (rabbits) on two species of producers (grasses and weeds).
The concept of interdependence in an ecosystem and its effect on the evolution of populations is further explored through a model of a dam. Students build a dam in the…
Explore the effect of different masses on the terminal velocity of a falling parachute. In this hands-on laboratory experiment, students use a motion sensor to collect data on coffee filter…
