Newton's First Law of Motion - Video
By Kim Ristow
The learner views several animations to study Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as "The Law of Inertia."
The Axial Skeleton: The Skull and the Rib Cage
By Barbara Liang
In this animated object, learners examine the eight cranial bones, the fourteen facial bones, and the ribs.
Regional Body Parts
By Gerald Heins
In this interactive object, learners identify a person's regional body parts.
Biomolecules - The Proteins
In this animated object, learners read an introduction to protein structure and function.
Anatomical Terminology: Body Regions
Students identify the various regions of the human body through drag-and-drop exercises.
Newton's Third Law of Motion - Video
In this learning activity you'll examine Newton's Third Law: for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.
Tissue Identification
In this learning activity you'll review the structure and function of the different tissues of the human body.
The Cell: Passive Transport Osmosis
In this animated object, learners examine water molecules moving through a semipermeable membrane.
Newton's Second Law of Motion - Video
In this learning activity you'll examine force, mass, and acceleration to understand this "Law of Acceleration."
Intermolecular Forces
By Debbie McClinton, Dr. Miriam Douglass, Dr. Martin McClinton
In this well-illustrated activity, learners examine the three types of intermolecular forces: dipole-dipole forces, London or Van der Waals forces, and the hydrogen bond. Two interactive questions are included.
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 Cell: Passive Transport Diffusion (Video)
By Wisc-Online
Explore what passive transport diffusion is and how it moves water through a membrane.
Biomolecules - The Lipids (Video)
By Becky Polk-Pohlman
In this animated object, learners examine neutral fats, phospholipids, and cholesterol. The molecular formula and general function for each are shown.
Lewis Dot Structures of Covalent Compounds
By Dr. Miriam Douglass, Dr. Martin McClinton
In this interactive and animated object, students distribute the valence electrons in simple covalent molecules with one central atom. Six rules are followed to show the bonding and nonbonding electrons in Lewis dot structures. The process is well illustrated with eight worked examples and two interactive practice problems.
The Sense of Smell
In this animated object, learners trace the olfactory pathway from the nasal cavity to the olfactory cortex.
A Typical Animal Cell (Video)
In this video, learners view the parts of an animal cell and its organelles.
Classification of Joints
In this animated object, learners examine the different types of joints and their movements.
How the Brain Develops (Screencast)
By Mary Beth Boettcher
In this interactive learning object, learners study the parts of the brain and then test their knowledge in a drag-and-drop exercise.
Science Lab Equipment - Pt 1 (Screencast)
By Bruce Bell
In this screencast we are introduced to the lab equipment used to contain and dispense chemicals.
The Sense of Sight (Screencast)
In this screencast, learners read about the parts of the eye.
The Four Types of Chemical Reactions
In this animated object, learners examine synthesis, decomposition, exchange, and reversible reactions.
The Organization of the Human Body: Body Cavities
In this interactive object, learners examine the locations of major body cavities and their protective membranes. A drag-and-drop exercise completes the activity.
The Fungi Kingdom: Common Characteristics of Fungi
Learners examine what defines a fungus and read how fungi differ from animals and plants.
Acids & Bases
By Jill Larson
Students read different definitions of "acids" and "bases." In an interactive exercise, they identify if a substance is an acid or a base.
The Mole and Avogadro's Number
Learners examine how chemists use moles to "count" atoms by weight. Examples are given.
