Tutorials range in complexity and difficulty of concepts covered; visitors can explore most anything from a simple cathode ray tube to a pulsed magnet or the effects of scalar coupling.

This interactive computer microscope Java tutorial explores how the hardware (QX3 microscope) and computer software work together to produce digital images.

You can use shadows and a meter stick to measure very tall objects from the ground--and before you try this experiment yourself, see how it works with a Java applet that measures the height of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Manipulate the incident angle, color of light, wavelength, and medium to see how the refracted angle is affected.
