Students create a slide presentation that contains text, images, sounds, and navigation buttons. They explore PowerPoint and use the different tools and basic slide-creation options.

Students role-play a trial regarding the taking of family property for a new water purification plant. Among the roles are the judge, attorneys, witnesses, plaintiff, mayor, and jury members. Once both sides present their case, the...

Students describe how radioactivity relates to alpha and beta particles. Using their properties, they write a descriptive paper about the gamma rays and alpha and beta particles. They calculate q-values and the half-life of a given...

Students discuss the mass-energy relationship based on Einstein's work. They calculate the energy released in various scenerios and sketch diagrams for the Lyman, Balmer and Pfund Series. In groups, they discuss the role of photons and...

Students are introduced to the topics of electric currents and resistance. In groups, they distinguish the difference between conventional and electron flows and state Ohm's Law for electrical components. They calculate the resistance of...

Pupils consider the causes of density at a microscopic level. They then discover that one cause of density has to do with how many protons and neutrons the material contains.

Learners categorize items into one of the three states of matter. They participate in a demonstration in which they represent particles of matter. Finally, they complete an experiment in which they "race" top see who can make acetone...

Students discover that there are many facets to the electron in chemistry such as electron cloud. They view movies an animations of electrons. Students visit links pertaining to electrons.

Students observe the 'pouring' of a gas. They compare the masses (weights) and densities of two gases. Pupils define the following terms: matter, mass, and density. Students answer questions after watching the demonstration.

Learners read an article that introduces them to the science and applications of nanotechnology. They discuss the the everyday examples of how nanotechnology is and can be used. In small groups, they observe and make inferences about...

Students study the use of X-ray data to make size and energy estimates of the source and the processes occurring there. They use XTE observations of the object GRO 1744-28 to determine whether bursts occur periodically and the duration...

In this English worksheet, students read "Iran Resumes Nuclear Work," and then respond to 47 fill in the blank, 7 short answer, 20 matching, and 8 true or false questions about the selection.

For this English worksheet, students read " 60th Anniversary of Hiroshima Bombing," and then respond to 47 fill in the blank, 7 short answer, 20 matching, and 8 true or false questions about the selection.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this online tutorial students will explain the law of conservation of mass, the law of definite proportions, and the law of multiple proportions. They will also...

This resource provides data about the physical destruction of Nagasaki, the medical aspect, and survivor stories.

This site has information about the atomic bomb which was dropped on Hiroshima. Pictures of Hiroshima after the bomb and the mushroom cloud are included.

Looks at the nuclear arms race in the 1950s as the United States and the USSR both stockpiled nuclear weapons. Includes 1951 propaganda video showing schoolchildren how to 'Duck and Cover' in the event of a nuclear attack. [9:15]

Illustrated instructions for how to make a model of an atom (an atom mobile).

This multi-day lesson plan helps students to understand how the models of the atom have changed and how quantum mechanics affects the electrons as they orbit the nucleus.

This article has information about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Additional information about the measures that have been taken about atomic warfare and testing since the bombings included.

This unit covers introductory concepts of mixtures and solutions. Students think about how mixtures and solutions, and atoms and molecules can influence new technologies developed by engineers. The first lesson explores the fundamentals...

Gerd Binnig co-developed the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) with Heinrich Rohrer. The STM allowed scientists entry into the atomic world in a new way and was a major advance in the field of nanotechnology. For their achievement,...

Enrico Fermi was a titan of twentieth-century physics. He outlined the statistical laws that govern the behavior of particles that abide by the Pauli exclusion principle and developed a theoretical model of the atom in his mid-twenties....

Read an account of the experiences of Francis Mitsuo Tomosawa, a fifteen-year-old American of Japanese descent who was in Hiroshima on the day the atomic bomb was dropped on the city.
