The interactive simulation allows learners to explore the features of fractions. Students can find matching fractions or compare fractions using numbers and picture patterns.
An interactive simulation that teaches about fractions, equivalent fractions, and mixed numbers through a game of matching shapes and numbers. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and includes handouts, lesson plans, and additional materials.
Create your own fractions using fun interactive objects. Match shapes and numbers to earn stars in the fractions games. Challenge yourself on any level you like. Try to collect lots of stars!
The virtual simulation allows users to explore the features of fractions while playing this fun interactive game. Learn about numerators, denominators, number lines, and picture patterns.
Learn how friction causes a material to heat up and melt. What happens on an atomic level when you rub two objects together?
An interactive simulation that teaches about friction, thermodynamics, and heat by making observations while rubbing two objects together. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and includes handouts, lesson plans, and additional materials.
An interactive simulation that teaches about functions, transformations, and ordered pairs while identifying patterns through art history. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and includes handouts, lesson plans, and additional materials.
Use this simulation to create three different proteins, then explore the process of protein synthesis. This simulation must be downloaded and requires Java to run. Available in numerous languages.
Generate and collect three types of proteins, then move on to explore the factors that affect protein synthesis in a cell.
Build a gene network! The lac operon is a set of genes which are responsible for the metabolism of lactose in some bacterial cells. Explore the effects of mutations within the lac operon by adding or removing genes from the DNA.

Generate electricity with a bar magnet! Discover the physics behind the phenomena by exploring magnets and how you can use them to make a bulb light. Java required.
An interactive simulation that teaches about refraction, lens, and optics. Students manipulate the focal length of the lens, and move the object, lens, and screen in order to see how the image is affected. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and includes handouts, lesson plans, and additional materials.
Adjust mountain snowfall and temperature to see the glacier grow and shrink. Use scientific tools to measure thickness, velocity and glacial budget.
In this simulation, users can adjust mountain snowfall and temperature to see the glacier grow and shrink or use scientific tools to measure thickness, velocity, and glacial budget. Java is required.
Explore the world of lines. Investigate the relationships between linear equations, slope, and graphs of lines.
An interactive simulation that teaches about slope-intercept form and graphing linear equations through observations while connecting the slope and y-intercept to the line equations. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and includes handouts, lesson plans, and additional materials.
An interactive simulation that teaches about gravitational force, circular motion, and astronomy by manipulating the sun, earth, moon, and a space station to observe the effects of gravity and orbital paths. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and includes handouts, lesson plans, and additional materials.
Move the sun, earth, moon, and space station to see how it affects their gravitational forces and orbital paths. Visualize the sizes and distances between different heavenly bodies, and turn off gravity to see what would happen without it.
Manipulate the mass and distance of two objects to see how these properties change the gravity force.
