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.

Understanding Hearing and Hearing Loss
Do you have Deaf or hard of hearing students who don't understand their hearing loss? Do other students want to know more about a DHH student's hearing?
This PowerPoint is great to help your DHH and hearing students alike learn how our ears work, what sound is, and to understand the different types of hearing loss. This would also be great in a science class on the physics of sound or the anatomy of the ear and the physiology of hearing. You may even choose to use it as an introduction to hear

Roller Coaster Investigation Handout - Kinetic and Potential Energy Analysis
This scientific investigation is geared toward a high school level investigation the of conservation of mechanical energy (Kinetic and Potential Energy), using relatively simple materials (plastic or foam tubing, marbles, stopwatches, tape). Students love creating the roller coasters and observing this relatively simple phenomena. They learn that the total energy in the system is equal to the sum of Potential and Kinetic Energy, and that energy is conserved in this system if you factor in fric

PhET Simulation Online Physics Lab: Collisions
This is experiment 8 in my Physics 1 online lab curriculum. It goes over elastic, inelastic, partial elastic, and 2D elastic collisions. It requires students to use simulations to find velocities before and after collisions, and calculate momentum and energy before and after collision. The goal is to show students in which cases momentum and energy are conserved. The lab includes a comparison of relative velocities and shows how in perfectly elastic collisions, the relative velocity before colli

PhET Online Simulation Physics Lab: Simple Harmonic Motion
This is the twelfth lab in my Physics 1 online lab curriculum. The lab is a study of a mass on a vertical spring. It consists of two main parts. The first part requires students to find the spring constant through measuring period (simple harmonic motion). The second part requires students to find the spring constant through measuring displacement from equilibrium (hookes law). Both parts require access to the simulation and to excel/google sheets for linear regression analysis. I did this lab i
