If you select labs in Norwegian Nynorsk, the descriptions on this website will still be displayed in English. However, when you include the lab in an ILS and change the language setting of the ILS to Norwegian Nynorsk, the lab will be displayed in Norwegian Nynorsk within the ILS.
Bending Light
Explore bending of light between two media with different indices of refraction. See how changing from air to water to glass changes the bending angle. Play with prisms of different shapes and make rainbows.
Build An Atom
Build an atom out of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and see how the element, charge, and mass change. Then play a game to test your ideas!
Molecules And Light
Do you ever wonder how a greenhouse gas affects the climate, or why the ozone layer is important? Use the sim to explore how light interacts with molecules in our atmosphere.
Wave On A String
Watch a string vibrate in slow motion. Wiggle the end of the string and make waves, or adjust the frequency and amplitude of an oscillator. Adjust the damping and tension. The end can be fixed, loose, or open.Primary aims of the lab:
Seeing Intermolecular Attractions
Seeing Intermolecular…
Explore different types of attractions between molecules. While all molecules are attracted to each other, some attractions are stronger than others.
Phase Change
Explore what happens at the molecular level during a phase change. The three common physical states of matter (also called phases) are solid, liquid and gas. Matter can change phase with the addition or subtraction of heat. Molecules are always in motion.
Comparing Dipole-Dipole To London Dispersion
Comparing Dipole-Dipole To…
While all molecules are attracted to each other, some attractions are stronger than others. Non-polar molecules are attracted through a London dispersion attraction; polar molecules are attracted through both the London dispersion force and the stronger dipole-dipole attraction.
