Multimedia Science Physics & Chemistry Materials
- Chemistry – Gas Laws Lab Software Students can run three experiments using a computer simulation of a gas moving in a closed container exploring relationships between the three variables of volume, pressure, and temperature.
- Chemistry Games, Labs, & Demos Software The Chemistry Games, Labs, & Demos software consists of a set of eight tutorials, labs, demonstrations, and games on basic chemistry topics.
- Physics – Acceleration of Gravity Game Software In this software game, students must solve acceleration of gravity motion problems in three different missions. There are two levels for each mission.
- Physics – Basic Electricity Labs The Basic Electricity Labs consist of six labs and answer keys in Microsoft Word format (2003 version).
- Physics – Basic Electricity Materials The Basic Electricity Materials provides everything an instructor would need to teach about basic circuit electricity.
- Physics – Frames of Reference Software The Frames of Reference Demo is a software simulation of two cars (Car A and Car B) moving towards each other on a road. This motion can be seen simultaneously from three frames of reference: 1) the earth, 2)Car A, and 3) Car B.
