Methods of Producing Electricity
By Terry Bartelt
In this learning activity you'll review the six different ways in which electricity is produced: chemical, friction, heat, light, magnetism, and pressure.
Phase Diagrams
By Debbie McClinton, Dr. Miriam Douglass, Dr. Martin McClinton
Learners examine phase diagrams that show the phases of solid, liquid, and gas as well as the triple point and critical point.
Dental Charting
The purpose of this learning object is to introduce the dental hygienist to the process of documenting a patient's dentition.
Movement Terminology
By Barbara Liang
In this animated object, the learner examines 17 types of joint movement.
The Corticospinal Tracts
In this animated object, learners examine the major descending tracts of the nervous system. A matching exercise completes the activity.
Protein Synthesis (Video)
By Becky Polk-Pohlman
In this video, you'll review how every protein molecule of an organism is synthesized.
Covalent Bonds
By Jill Larson
In this animated object, students examine what happens when electrons share molecules.
Construction of the Cell Membrane (Video)
In this video you'll study the structure of the cell membrane and construct it using the correct molecules.
Changes in Our World: Chemical and Physical (Screencast)
By Deb Simonson
In this screencast, learners examine the kinds of physical and chemical changes that occur in substances.
Physiological Events at the Neural Synapse
In this learning activity you'll review information on the neural synapse.
Calculation of Atomic Weight from Isotopic Composition
Learners examine the method for calculating the atomic weight of copper from the natural percent composition of each of its two isotopes.
Chytridiomycetes
Chytrids, as members of this group are known, are found everywhere. In this animated learning object, students examine the role of chytrids and their impact on the environment.
The Brain - Anatomy and Function (Screencast)
By Susan Heitman
In this screencast, learners review and reinforce their knowledge of brain anatomy and function.
Summary of Energy Yield During Cellular Respiration
Learners review a graphic summary of the three series of reactions that occur during cellular respiration and the net energy (ATP) yield of that process.
Vapor Pressure
Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by molecules in the gas phase in equilibrium with a liquid or a solid. Two examples are used to illustrate vapor pressure: the drying of clothes and the evaporation of ice.
Biomolecules: The Proteins (Video)
Explore what proteins are, their structure, and their functions.
Introduction to Safety in the Chemistry Lab (Video)
By Bruce Bell
Learners read about lab equipment and basic safety measures. In a quiz, they view photos and determine if the lab technicians pictured are using safe practices.
Red Blood Cells
In this animated and interactive object, learners examine the red blood cell's life cycle and function. A brief exercise completes the activity.
Atomic Structure and Ionic Bonding
In this animated object, learners examine the chemistry behind table salt.
Atomic Symbols, Atomic Numbers, and Mass Numbers
Learners read definitions of atomic symbols, atomic numbers, and mass numbers and then answer questions about the number of neutrons, protons, and electrons in select elements.
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
Learners examine the meaning of oxidation, reduction, and half-reaction, and watch a film showing the deposition of copper metal from the reduction of copper (II) ion by aluminum. A brief quiz completes the activity.
The Autonomic Nervous System - Sympathetic Division
Learners examine the function and wiring of the sympathetic nervous system.
Measuring Gas Pressure
By Dr. Miriam Douglass, Dr. Martin McClinton
Learners convert units used to designate pressure. Units for pressure are atm, mm Hg, torr, and pascal.
The Vertebral Column
Learners read a brief description of the vertebral column and examine the distinctive features of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae.
