Nikola Tesla Interactive Biography - Science History US History Activity
Bring Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), the Serbian-American inventor who championed alternating current and changed how the world is electrified, into your classroom. Note: this resource is about Tesla the inventor, not the car company that took his name. Students examine his Smiljan childhood in the Croatian military frontier of the Austrian Empire, his arrival in New York in 1884 with four cents in his pocket and a letter to Edison, the bitter AC versus DC current war with Thomas Edison, the Westingh

Capacitor simulation
Capacitor- charging and discharging a capacitor through a resistor:Show, in 3D, how a capacitor works... This simulation shows a capacitor in three states: Charging "Off"DischargingA switch is used to select a state. The simulation shows electrons moving appropriately, the charge on each plate, cell orientation, the correct orientation of polar molecules in a dielectric and correct values. The graphs, when expanded, show the recurring time constant. Choose to show:Graphs (I/t, Q/t, V/t with tim

Motion Graph Matching
Motion Graph MatchImprove understanding of kinematics...Challenge your students to match three graphs (x/t, v/t, a/t) and one moving ball, each of which describes the same motion.The app keeps the score. Iterations are never the same, and some are more difficult than others. Choose to show: Graphs where the velocities are all constant (v = ∆x/∆t)Graphs where the accelerations are all constant (a = ∆v/∆t)Graphs where the jerks are all constant (jerk = ∆a/∆t)This application, once downloaded, is s

MYP 1-3 Criteria B: Bouncing Ball Lab (Energy)
Creating authentic MYP assessments can be challenging. No fret! Here is a Criteria B Assessment that is super easy, challenging for the kids, comes with an awesome rubric, and even includes an answer key for moderation! I love sharing the example key with the kids afterwards so they can compare their lab reports and see how they can improve! Or use it as a formative assessment! This lab report involves two things:Task 1: Design an experiment to test the relationship between kinetic and potential

Buoyancy simulation, 3D
Buoyancy: Change every variable (except viscosity) Show how the buoyant force is related to the densities of the object and the fluid, volume of the object, volume of the displaced fluid, acceleration due to gravity. Vectors show the buoyant force, the force of gravity, the normal force, and, if you wish, a push or a pull. Place the object in any position, or push or pull the object vertically, and view from any angle by rotating, panning or zooming the animation). Choose to display the calcula

Static Equilibrium: Ladder leaning against a wall.
The principal purpose of this simulation is to show that:... as the linear acceleration of the ladder and man is zero, then the net force on it is zero.... as the angular acceleration of the ladder and man is zero, then the not torque is zero, no matter where one places the common point about which torques are calculated. One can change:ladder lengthladder angleladder massPosition of man standing on ladderMass of man standing on ladderCoefficient of friction between ladder and floorPosition of c
