Virtual Lab: Simulating Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment (Nuclear Radiation)
Introduction:Ernest Rutherford’s atomic theory describes the atom with a central positive nucleus surrounded by negative orbiting electrons. This model suggested that most of the mass of the atom was contained in the small nucleus, and that the rest of the atom was mostly empty space. Rutherford came to this conclusion following the results of his famous gold foil experiment. This experiment involved the firing of radioactive particles through minutely thin gold metal foils and detecting them us

Graphing Tutorial for Chemistry Labs (in Excel) For Students
Over the years I've found that my sophomores still do not know how to graph well in Excel. Thus, their ability to type up my laboratory reports is hindered. To help them, I created this 'Graphing for Chemistry Labs (in Excel) tutorial". They have found it quite helpful for learning how to properly use Excel.

Measuring Coefficient of Friction Lab Simply by Sliding Things Down Boards
One can measure the coefficient of friction of two surfaces just by measuring the angle that the object slides down the board. All that is required is a meter stick and a board, no scale, no stopwatch needed. It is part of a book coming out in June 2017 called "Zero Budget Labs" by Scorton Creek.
