Click to Run Topics Snell's Law Refraction Reflection Optics Prisms Lenses Light Description Explore bending of light between two media with different indices of refraction. See how changing from air to water to glass changes the bending angle. Play with prisms of different shapes and make rainbows.
Topics Vectors Vector Components Vector Addition Equations Description Explore vectors in 1D or 2D, and discover how vectors add together. Specify vectors in Cartesian or polar coordinates, and see the magnitude, angle, and components of each vector. Experiment with vector equations and compare vector sums and differences. Sample Learning Goals Describe a vector in your own words Explain a method to add vectors Compare and contrast the component styles Decompose a vector into components Describe what happens to a vector when it is multiplied by a scalar Arrange vectors graphically to represent vector addition or subtraction
The Grass Here I was walking, minding my own business, then a restaurant so immaculate on the outside caught my attention. It had the view of the dam, flying ducks, birds chirping the works, so I thought to myself, let me try this place out. Of course for copyright and legal purposes I will give this place a false name, I will call it "The Grass". Upon entering you meet this wonderful calm, peaceful atmosphere, with almost the entire restaurant staring at you as if you a celebrity (No really they were staring)I do not know if there was something off with my makeup or my boyfriends ridiculous cowboy hat that he was wearing. Anyways, upon entering things were going so smoothly up until the moment of picking a table and decide what we should eat came about and ruined all that. Nothing but confusion First of all, the menu was piece of white A4 paper, typed in romans font size 14 (so much for creativity). There was no prices on the menu, they tried to be clever and use catchy term...
Topics Ohm's Law Circuits Current Resistance Voltage Description See how the equation form of Ohm's law relates to a simple circuit. Adjust the voltage and resistance, and see the current change according to Ohm's law. Sample Learning Goals Predict how current will change when resistance of the circuit is fixed and voltage is varied. Predict how current will change when voltage of the circuit is fixed and resistance is varied.
Topics Periodic Motion Hooke's Law Conservation of Energy Newton's Laws Measurement Vectors Description Hang masses from springs and adjust the spring constant and damping. Transport the lab to different planets, or slow down time. Observe the forces and energy in the system in real-time, and measure the period using the stopwatch. Sample Learning Goals Determine the factors which affect the period of oscillation Find the value of g on Planet X Design an experiment to determine the mass of an unknown object Describe the relationship between the velocity and acceleration vectors, and their relationship to motion, at various points in the oscillation Explain how the free-body diagram of the mass changes throughout its oscillation Explain the Conservation of Mechanical Energy using kinetic, elastic potential, gravitational potential, and thermal energy
