This worksheet aligns with the PhET simulation of the same name, and is applicable for teaching the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), MS-PS3-4. PhET, founded in 2002 by a Nobel Laureate, develops web-based math and science simulations. PhET is currently among one of the most utilized sources for science and math teachers using interactive simulations. The Build A Molecule simulation and worksheet takes students through activities designed to build and deepen understanding of how at

Updated 2025.01.13: Artificial Intelligence (ChatGPT/Claude/etc.) integrations added. Activity extensions now ask students to engage with and critically analyze LLM responses related to the activity.This worksheet aligns with the PhET simulation of the same name. Students will need an internet-connected device to access the simulation in order to complete the activity. The worksheet is designed to guide students through a learning activity and exploration using the PhET simulation PhET, fou

This is a full laboratory activity that develops understanding of (heat) energy transfer in liquids. The hands-on activity is followed by calorie calculations of the observed phenomena and analysis questions.

This worksheet is designed to be used in conjunction with the popular BrainPop animation of the same name. Students are given a series of pre-questions, a selection of questions directly related to the animation, and then some extension follow-ups.
