This simulation provides an interactive lab experience for students to practice using common laboratory instruments: graduated cylinders, digital and triple-beam balances, meter sticks, and thermometers. It emphasizes the importance of reading instruments correctly and applying the rules of significant figures based on the instrument's precision. Students can toggle between basic and precise versions of instruments and receive instant feedback on their measurements, reinforcing fundamental lab skills.
This activity helps high school students master calculations with significant figures. It covers determining sig figs, applying rules for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and solving complex multi-step problems. Students receive instant feedback and can review their answers to reinforce learning and identify common errors.
This interactive activity introduces students to dimensional analysis. Students solve conversion problems by arranging unit cards to cancel units correctly. The activity progresses from abstract puzzles to real-world chemistry and physics calculations, reinforcing mathematical application in a scientific context.
This 3D simulation allows students to explore the concept of density. They can measure the mass and volume of various objects and liquids, investigate buoyancy by observing whether objects float or sink, and use their collected data to identify unknown substances, reinforcing key physical science principles. They can log their data on a table at the bottom of the simulation.
