Created by Paul Falstad, this applet simulates kinetic theory of gases. The volume, temperature of a plate at the bottom, and force of gravity are adjustable. A histogram displays relative velocities of different...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this activity to look at the ways in which energy is released in chemical reactions. The class will examine plaster of paris, bromthymol blue and...

This is a collection of online physics courses designed for elementary and middle school teachers. Current courses are on light, electricity and magnetism, temperature, heat, and energy, and force, motion, and energy....

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this activity to compare the amount of energy given off in combustion reactions. The experiment has two different objectives. The first is the...

Provided by Iowa State University, the Partnerships to Advance Learning in Science: Java Simulations Web site contains several interactive science simulations. Visitors can explore advection, the energy budget, adiabatic...
