Classification of Joints
By Barbara Liang
In this animated object, learners examine the different types of joints and their movements.
Muscle Cell Contraction
In this animated activity, learners examine muscle cell contraction and relaxation and consider the role of calcium ions.
Transfer Functions: The RC High Pass Filter
By Patrick Hoppe
Learners read how the transfer function for a RC high pass filter is developed. The transfer function is used in Excel to graph the Vout. The circuit is also simulated in Electronic WorkBench and the resulting Bode plot is compared to the graph from Excel.
The Four Types of Chemical Reactions
In this animated object, learners examine synthesis, decomposition, exchange, and reversible reactions.
Identification of Lactose Positive and Lactose Negative Bacteria on MacConkey Agar
By Kristine Snow, Marise Hussey
In this learning activity you'll observe the growth of gram negative organisms and determine if they're lactose positive or negative.
Fluid and Electrolytes
By Patricia Stroupe
In this animated object, learners examine the structure and function of intracellular and extracellular fluid. They also read about the most common electrolytes in the body and complete a matching exercise to test their knowledge.
Body Sections and Divisions of the Abdominal Pelvic Cavity
In this animated activity, learners examine how organs are visualized in three dimensions. The terms “longitudinal,” “cross,” “transverse,” “horizontal,” and “sagittal” are defined. Students test their knowledge of the location of abdominal pelvic cavity organs in two drag-and-drop exercises.
The Zener Diode: Practice Problems
Students complete 10 practice problems. These deal with the determination of series current, zener current, and load current, and if the zener diode is operating in the breakdown region.
The Dial Caliper
By Barbara Anderegg
Learners review guidelines for the proper use of a dial caliper. Illustrations appear throughout the learning object.
Series Circuit Analysis Practice Problems Part 1
In this interactive object, learners solve for total resistance and current, the current through each resistor, the voltage across each resistor, and the power dissipated.
The Sense of Taste
In this interactive object, learners examine the structure and function of the sense of taste.
Passive Transport: Filtration and Facilitated Diffusion
In this animated object, learners examine processes that do not use ATP directly including hydrostatic pressure and facilitated diffusion with carrier proteins.
Voltage Divider Rule (VDR)
By Terry Fleischman, Patrick Hoppe
Students review the Voltage Divider Rule and work practice problems.
Brain Exercise: Visualization #2
By Glenn Sokolowski
In this interactive object, learners practice their 3D visualization skills by identifying the correct isometric view of an object.
Basic Elements of Dimensions Used in Engineering Drawings
In this interactive object, students explore the basic elements and common terms associated with dimensions and leaders. A quiz completes the activity.
The 4-Input Truth Table
In this learning activity you'll practice using the 4-input truth table.
Comparing Hydraulics and Pneumatics
By Terry Bartelt
Learners examine the differences and similarities between hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
The Actions of Hormones
In this animated object, learners compare the mode of action of steroids with the action of amino acid-based hormones.
ABG Interpretation: Partially and Fully Compensated Conditions
By Marilyn Misurek, MSN, ANP
In this interactive object, learners review case studies and identify complex arterial blood gases.
Common Musculoskeletal Fractures
By Jan Schmidt
In this animated and interactive object, learners identify musculoskeletal fractures.
Brain Exercise: Visualization #3
Learners develop 3D visualization skills by examining front, side, and top orthographic views of objects. Using this information, students select the corresponding isometric view of each object.
Phase Relationships Between Line-Neutral and Line-Line Voltages
By Michael Gradinjan, Terry Fleischman
Learners view a demonstration showing that line-neutral voltages and line-line voltages are not in-phase with each other, but have a definite 30-degree relationship.
Introduction to Records Management: Types of Records
By Kim Olson
In this interactive object, learners read an overview of records management and then classify records as "vital," "important," "useful," or "nonessential" in a drag-and-drop exercise.
Transistor Fundamentals: Voltage-Divider Biased NPN Transistor
Students view drawings of the dc analysis of a voltage-divider biased NPN transistor.
Apgar Scoring Challenge
By Kathy Costa Lieberthal
Learners consider the Apgar scores for several fictitious newborns. They are then given an Apgar score and proceed to create a situation in which a newborn would receive that rating.
