Flowers
By Barbara Liang
In this well-illustrated object, learners examine basic floral anatomy. The flower is the reproductive organ of the angiosperm.
The Basidiomycetes of the Fungi Kingdom
Learners examine the lifecycle of basidiomycetes. Terminology and fungi examples are provided.
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.
The Cell: Passive Transport Osmosis (Video)
By Wisc-Online
Explore what passive transport osmosis is and how it moves water through a semipermeable membrane.
The Food Pyramid
By Michele Williams
In this learning activity you'll explore the food pyramid and the recommended services.
The Cell Cycle
In this animated object, learners examine the different phases of a cell's life.
Moles
By Jill Larson
In this animated object, students are introduced to moles as a measurement.
Muscle and Connective Tissue
In this colorful and interactive object, learners examine the structure and function of muscle and connective tissues. A quiz completes the activity.
Unit Conversions
In this animated and interactive object, learners follow two rules to write unit conversion fractions.
Construction of Free-Body Diagrams
By Kim Ristow
In this learning activity you'll explore a step-by-step process to solve simple free-body diagrams. They identify forces acting in the x or y direction in interactive exercises.
Boiling Point of a Liquid
By Debbie McClinton, Dr. Miriam Douglass, Dr. Martin McClinton
Learners examine how the boiling point increases with increasing pressure. An example from industry is given.
Classification of Joints
In this animated object, learners examine the different types of joints and their movements.
Heat of Fusion and Heat of Vaporization
Learners examine graphs and read that the heat of fusion is the heat energy absorbed by one mole of solid as it is converted to liquid, while the heat of vaporization is the heat energy absorbed by one mole of liquid as it is converted to gas.
The Three States of Matter
By Dr. Miriam Douglass, Dr. Martin McClinton
In this animated and interactive object, learners examine the properties of liquids, solids, and gases.
Fruit: Triumph of the Angiosperms
Learners read how fruits are classified according to their texture and according to how they developed from their floral anatomy.
International Time Zones (Screencast)
By Virginia Kirsch
In this screencast, you will learn about the 24 time zones.
The Ascomycetes
In this interactive and animated object, learners examine the characteristics, ecological importance, and lifecycle of the ascomycetes of the fungi kingdom.
Introduction to the Periodic Table (Screencast)
By Mona Wenrich
In this screencast, students read about the basic organization and structure of the periodic table of elements. Students identify elements as belonging to a group, a period, or neither.
Regional Body Parts
By Gerald Heins
In this interactive object, learners identify a person's regional body parts.
The Effect of Temperature on the Vapor Pressure of a Liquid
Learners examine how vapor pressure is calculated. The vapor pressure of a liquid increases with increasing temperature. If the heat of vaporization and the vapor pressure at one temperature are known, the vapor pressure at a second temperature can be calculated.
Viruses
By Jonathan Harris
In this animated learning object, students examine the life cycles of a virus.
The Zygomycetes (Screencast)
In this screencast, learners examine the lifecycle of fungi including asexual and sexual reproduction. Learners test their knowledge by identifying a diagram. There is a companion crossword puzzle game here: https://www.wisc-online.com/arcade/games/natural-science/science-biology/3016/the-zygomycetes-crossword
Using Graphs to Explain Motion (Screencast)
By Henry Merrill
In this screencast, you'll observe two vehicles moving across the screen at different rates then describe the motion. Additionally, you'll select the corresponding graphs of distance vs. time, velocity vs. time, and acceleration vs. time for each vehicle.
Oxidation Numbers
Learners assign oxidation numbers to atoms in neutral compounds and in polyatomic ions. Six examples are worked through in detail, and three problems are provided.
Precipitation Reactions
In this interactive and animated object, learners use solubility rules to predict when an insoluble ionic compound will precipitate in a double replacement reaction. Four step-by-step examples are given.
