Molecules and Electromagnetic Radiation PhET Simulation Investigation
Students use the Molecules and Light PhET simulation to investigate how different kinds of electromagnetic radiation (microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet) interact with different molecules. Then, the students draw conclusions about how these types of radiation interact with matter based on the data they collect. Includes a warm-up activity where students review drawing Lewis structures, identify the 3D shapes (VSEPR shapes) of molecules, and determine their polarity.

Understanding Hearing and Hearing Loss
Do you have Deaf or hard of hearing students who don't understand their hearing loss? Do other students want to know more about a DHH student's hearing?
This PowerPoint is great to help your DHH and hearing students alike learn how our ears work, what sound is, and to understand the different types of hearing loss. This would also be great in a science class on the physics of sound or the anatomy of the ear and the physiology of hearing. You may even choose to use it as an introduction to hear

PhET Simulations Online Physics Lab: Density
This is the second lab in my physics 1 online lab curriculum. It can be done in a complete virtual setting and is separated into two main parts. In part 1, students find the identity of 5 unknown objects through measuring mass and volume through water displacement. Part 2 isn't simulation based, and prompts a few theoretical density problems, as well as explores the purpose of a few other measurement devices.

Physical Science / Physics Measurement - Zombie Themed Activity
Teenagers right now are ALWAYS ready to tell you about their zombie survival plan, or about the zombie video game, TV show, or movie they’ve watched. I’ve used that theme to introduce or review metric measurement, accuracy, and calculations of percent error.There are 6 activities that students will rotate through in small groups. Each activity asks them to work on a different measurement skill: length, volume, time, and mass. In addition, they'll be asked to calculate their error and percent

Investigating Generators Virtual Lab
This virtual lab is based on a phet simulation and guides students through an exploration of the factors that impact the quality of a generator. Students test, analyze, and evaluate number of loops of wire, strength of magnets, and rotations per minute (RPM) on the current generated by their virtual generators. Three main questions are investigated:1. How does the number of loops impact current?2. How does the strength of the magnet impact current?3. How does the RPM impact current?This activity
