PhET Projectile Motion activity guide
The PhET:Projectile Motion Activity Guide is used along with the free *Next Generation PhET Simulation on Projectile Motion. Students learn how the motion of a projectile is affected by changes in the initial height, initial speed, cannon angle, and other variables with or without the affects of wind resistance. This activity guide follows closely with the newest (HTML5) version of the PhET Projectile Motion simulation. Your students will hit the ground running without the need for a lengthy in

Molecules and Electromagnetic Radiation PhET Simulation Investigation
Students use the Molecules and Light PhET simulation to investigate how different kinds of electromagnetic radiation (microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet) interact with different molecules. Then, the students draw conclusions about how these types of radiation interact with matter based on the data they collect. Includes a warm-up activity where students review drawing Lewis structures, identify the 3D shapes (VSEPR shapes) of molecules, and determine their polarity.
