Photosynthesis Interactive

A simple interactive that helps students understand the basics of photosynthesis.

Cellular Respiration Interactive

A simple interactive that helps students understand the basics of cellular respiration.

Genetics

In this interactive, the trait of floppy or straight ears is used as a simplified example of how genes affect traits.

Punnett Squares

Use Punnett Squares to determine the probabilities of different pea traits.

Frog Anatomy

First learn about the internal anatomy of the frog and then drag and drop the labels to the correct internal organ.

New! Virtual Heating Ice Lab

Measure, record, and graph the temperature changes as water is heated and changes states.

Matter

This simple interactive explains that all matter has mass and takes up space, the tools for measuring mass and volume, and the difference between mass and weight.

History of the Understanding of Atoms

Learn about how the ideas of Democritus and findings of Dalton, Thomson, and Rutherford changed our understanding of matter.

Atoms Simulation

Use PhET's Build and Atom simulation to review your understanding of atoms.

Periodic Table Part 1

Help build the periodic table and then learn about the different elements and groups.

Periodic Table Part 2

Use an interactive periodic table to answer questions.

Periodic Table Games

Test your understanding of the periodic table. Race to see how fast you can place the labels.

Time Machine: Periodic Table

Answer questions about the periodic table of elements to recover the lifesaving code hidden throughout history!

Periodic Table Bingo Cards

Each of the 50 bingo cards are filled with the first 20 elements, Fe, Ni, Cu, Ag, and Au. Students move markers over the pieces and can access a provided periodic table.

Molecules

Build on your understanding of atoms as you learn about, identify, and build molecules. Note: This interactive includes PhET's Build a Molecule simulation.

CANDY SHOP

Measure the mass and volume of 6 different sweet treats and calculate their densities.

DENSITY

UPDATED! You are locked in school on your birthday! Answer the questions about density to unlock the school's security system and get home in time for your party!

Density

This is a very quick review of mass, volume, density, and what floats.

New! Why Does Ice Float?

Great for before winter break! Students use PhET's States of Matter simulation to explore states of matter and discover that ice is less dense than liquid water and therefore floats.

States of Matter Escape Room

This virtual escape room includes many visual effects and a funny story line that addresses the states of matter and the changes of states of matter.

Kinetic and Potential Energy

Guided questions to accompany PhET's Skate Park to help students explore kinetic and potential energy, friction, and the conservation of energy.

En español - Thanks to some AWESOME teachers in Mexico, this interactive has been translated into Spanish!

Energy and Its Many Forms

Explore 5 forms of energy and use Phet's "Energy Forms and Changes" simulation to answer questions about how energy changes from one form to another.

FORCES and MOTION

You and a friend have been invited to participate in the UTAH WILDERNESS CHALLENGE! Ride ATVs, parachute, run, and bike your way to victory as you answer questions about forces and motion.

Waves Part 1: Mechanical Waves

You are abducted by aliens and must answer questions about waves in order to get home! Thankfully, Ditto is there to help!

Note: This is an updated version of this interactive that includes several PhET simulations!

Waves Part 2: Electromagnetic Waves

Ditto needs help communicating with his ship so he can return to his friends. Learn about electromagnetic waves and using pulse waves to send a binary signal and transmit information.

This interactive uses 2 PhET wave simulations.

Wave Communication: Binary Signals

The town's cellphones have all gone missing! Use your detective skills and radio waves to crack the case.

New! Virtual Heating Ice Lab

Measure, record, and graph the temperature changes as water is heated and changes states.

Science Investigation Notebook-

Genially and Google Slides Versions

This science investigation notebook is a downloadable and editable. It can be used with the "design an experiment" (or any other experiment). The basic genially account is free. The Google Slides version is free on TPT.

Design an Experiment

Students learn about experimental design while investigating how quickly or how well people can complete tasks under different circumstances.
