Simulation

Periodic Trends: Ionization Energy, Atomic Radius & Ionic Radius

In this simulation, students can investigate the periodic trends of atomic radius, ionization energy, and ionic radius. By choosing elements from the periodic table, atoms can be selected for a side by side comparison and analysis. Students can also attempt to ionize an atom by removing its valence electrons. Quantitative data is available for each periodic trend, and can be further examined in a graph.
Simulation

Periodic Trends II: Electron Affinity, Atomic Radius & Ionic Radius

The May 2016 simulation is a follow-up to the March 2016 simulation. Students will focus their investigation on the electron affinity of an atom. Through the use of this simulation students will have the opportunity to examine the formation of an anion as well as compare the atomic radius of a neutral atom to the ionic radius of its anion.

TMI (Too Much Information) in Science

The concept of science is facing a time of rapid change in an information-driven era.
Simulation

Periodic Trends

In this simulation, students will investigate several periodic trends, including atomic radius, ionization energy and ionic radius. Through the use of this simulation students will have the opportunity to examine atomic data as well as visually compare and interact with select elements from the periodic table.

Simulation

Building an Atom

In this simulation, students manipulate the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an element and determine how these effect the mass number, atomic number, and other properties of an atom.
Simulation

Intermolecular Forces Simulation

In this simulation, students will learn about the different intermolecular forces. They will use the simulation to see how molecules in various species interact with one another.
Simulation

Exciting Electrons

In this simulation, students will explore what happens when electrons within a generic atom are excited from their ground state. This is a qualitative investigation, not meant to mimic any particular atom.
