Photosynthesis - Virtual Game/Simulation (Digital/Printable)
This activity is interactive and engaging as students drive a “spaceship” to travel into a leaf and then a chloroplast to play a game that simulates the cellular actions of photosynthesis. The simulation includes extensive details of the Light-dependent Reactions and the Calvin Cycle and may not be appropriate for some students depending on your objectives. It is best used after an introductory lesson on photosynthesis or as a review activity. Review questions are included.Due to the web-based r

Herd Immunity Simulation Lab
Students use an online simulation to determine the relationship between immunization and infection rates. Students will collect data, graph their data, look for patterns, and draw conclusions about herd immunity. This activity is especially powerful in the context of CoViD-19, flu season, and RSV surges, as it gives students the scientific data to combat the common misconception that herd immunity can be reasonably reached through natural infection and recovery.Format: Microsoft Word, PDFInclu

HALF-LIFE SIMULTION
Most people think of half-life in terms of radioaictve decay. However, it can also refer to drug interactions, pesticides in plants and a plasma half-‐life which is a stability factor. In each case the mathematical equations are similar and produce the typical half-life curve. Using M&Ms to create a simulation of the half-‐life process students create a graph with an exponential curve.

Combined Gas Laws Simulation
An interactive simulation of combined gas laws - Charles's law, Boyle's law and Gay-Lussac's law, showing the relationship between pressure, temperature and volume.
Use the circular handle to change volume and the switch to light the fire and increase temperature. To get a better look at the molecules colliding you can remove the cover of the chamber.

Fraction Wheel Pulley Machine
The Fraction Wheel Pulley Machine
This interactive application uses pulleys to create an animated fraction wheel. Students connect different size pulleys and turn a crank to produce multicolored fraction wheel sections. The possible fractions include all fractions with denominators less than or equal to 12. For each fraction the fraction wheel displays all the fractions in the family of the fraction, e.g. for 1/12, the fractions with denominator 2, 3, 4, or 6.

Energy Conversion in a System Gizmo
Energy Conversion in a System GizmoA falling cylinder is attached to a rotating propeller that stirs and heats the water in a beaker. The mass and height of the cylinder, as well as the quantity and initial temperature of water can be adjusted. The temperature of the water is measured as energy is converted from one form to another.
