Helpful Microbes in Your Daily Life (Screencast)
By Elizabeth Yoon
In this screencast, learners read how microbes in such items as yogurt, bread, insulin, and insect sprays improve our lives.
A Typical Animal Cell
By Gerald Heins
In this interactive object, learners identify the parts of an animal cell and its organelles.
Naming Binary Ionic Compounds Containing Variable Oxidation State Cations (Screencast)
By Debbie McClinton, Dr. Miriam Douglass, Dr. Martin McClinton
Roman numerals are used to identify the charges on metal cations having multiple oxidation states. Five examples are provided for practice.
The Fungi Kingdom: Common Characteristics of Fungi
Learners examine what defines a fungus and read how fungi differ from animals and plants.
Phase Diagrams
Learners examine phase diagrams that show the phases of solid, liquid, and gas as well as the triple point and critical point.
Summary of Energy Yield During Cellular Respiration
By Becky Polk-Pohlman
Learners review a graphic summary of the three series of reactions that occur during cellular respiration and the net energy (ATP) yield of that process.
Introduction to Safety in the Chemistry Lab (Video)
By Bruce Bell
Learners read about lab equipment and basic safety measures. In a quiz, they view photos and determine if the lab technicians pictured are using safe practices.
The Unipolar and Multipolar Neurons
Learners examine the location, structure, and function of the unipolar and multipolar neurons.
Measuring Gas Pressure
By Dr. Miriam Douglass, Dr. Martin McClinton
Learners convert units used to designate pressure. Units for pressure are atm, mm Hg, torr, and pascal.
The Effect of Temperature on the Vapor Pressure of a Liquid
Learners examine how vapor pressure is calculated. The vapor pressure of a liquid increases with increasing temperature. If the heat of vaporization and the vapor pressure at one temperature are known, the vapor pressure at a second temperature can be calculated.
Protein Synthesis (Video)
In this video, you'll review how every protein molecule of an organism is synthesized.
The Three States of Matter
In this animated and interactive object, learners examine the properties of liquids, solids, and gases.
The Upper and Lower Motor Neurons (Screencast)
In this screencast, learners examine the function and location of the motor neurons and the damage that can result when they are injured.
Nervous and Epithelial Tissue
In this colorful, interactive object, learners examine nervous and epithelial tissue composition and function. A quiz completes the activity.
Lifecycles of Animals and Plants
In this animated activity, sexual reproduction in animals is contrasted with the alternation of generation lifecycle of plants.
Metabolic Pathways
In this screencast, learners categorize different metabolic activities as catabolic or anabolic and follow a glucose molecule through the processes of glycolysis, aerobic respiration, and fermentation.
Moles
In this animated object, students are introduced to moles as a measurement.
Double Replacement Reactions
In this interactive object, learners identify charges on ions, write new formulas based on charge, and balance equations using coefficients.
Gas Volume vs. Temperature (Charles's Law)
In this animated object, learners examine how gas volume varies directly with absolute temperature (K at constant pressure). An example of a sample of gas at two conditions of volume and temperature is used to illustrate the law.
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
Learners examine the meaning of oxidation, reduction, and half-reaction, and watch a film showing the deposition of copper metal from the reduction of copper (II) ion by aluminum. A brief quiz completes the activity.
Conversions in Nursing Math
By Barb Hummel
Learners quiz themselves on the conversion factors within and between the metric, apothecary, and household systems.
