Virtual Labs & Simulations
Lab Safety Rules
Learning the lab safety rules is engaging, and dare we say it, fun, with this interactive covering 30 rules. Includes read-aloud support and a screenshot signature page.
Triple Beam Balance Challenge
Measure the mass of five objects with a virtual triple beam balance. Students get feedback as they adjust the riders and enter their values.
Design an Experiment
Design an experiment that tests people's ability to complete tasks, including math problems, mazes, and a memory game, under different circumstances.
Design an Experiment: Teacher Presentation
Lead the whole class through designing an experiment that tests how distractions affect people's ability to complete a memory game.
Matter & Energy
Candy Shop
Measure the mass and volume of six candies using water displacement and V = L x W x H, then use the built-in calculator to compare their densities.
Virtual Heating Ice Lab
Measure, record, and graph the temperature of ice as it melts, heats, and boils, then use the graph to explore states of matter and energy transfer.
Heat Lamp Simulation
Explore how different materials absorb and retain heat under a heat lamp.
Force & Motion
Position vs. Time Graphs
Measure, record, and graph the distances Grasshopper and Snail travel each minute in a 10 meter race, then use the graph to answer questions about the race.
Car Motion Simulation
Explore how velocity affects motion by comparing distance and displacement over time.
Distance vs. Time Challenge
Match the red line on the graph by adjusting the skateboarding sloth's speed with a slider.
Ball Bounce Simulation
Explore how drop height, elasticity, and mass affect bounce height, then collect data to analyze and graph the relationships.
Forces on a Ramp
Manipulate ramp angle, box mass, and surface material to investigate how friction and gravity affect the motion of a sliding object.
Friction and Rolling Lab
Roll a ball down a ramp onto different surfaces to investigate how surface type and ramp angle affect how far the ball travels.
Waves & Sound
Wave Generator
Explore how frequency, wavelength, and amplitude impact a wave.
Transverse Waves Sim
Explore how frequency and amplitude impact a transverse wave in a toy spring.
Longitudinal Waves Sim
Explore how frequency and amplitude impact a longitudinal wave in a toy spring.
BETA
Sound from Harp Strings
Explore how harp string length changes pitch and frequency.
Electricity & Magnetism
BETA
Electromagnet
Explore how the number of batteries and wire coils affects the strength of an electromagnet and how many paper clips it can pick up.
Punnett Squares
Review the basics of genetics and use Punnett squares to determine whether pea plants will be yellow or green and round or wrinkly.
NEW
Osmosis
Visualize what happens at the molecular level during osmosis by changing the solute concentrations on either or both sides of the membrane.
Sunflower Growth
Explore how sunlight, water, and soil pH affect the growth of a sunflower plant.
NEW
Weather Fronts
Adjust the settings to compare cold and warm fronts with different levels of humidity.
Water Filtration Challenge
Explore key water management concepts, then design, build, and test a virtual water filter. Includes read-aloud support and a screenshot signature page.
