Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Micelles
Select an oil or water environment for molecules and observe how they are affected by interactions with their environment and each other.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Protein Folding
Generate all polar, all nonpolar, or random proteins and observe how the protein folds in response to these molecular properties. Explore how the potential energy of the system changes over time to draw conclusions about how proteins...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Polar and Nonpolar Interface
Observe how molecules with hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions move in a mixture of oil and water, and pay attention to changes in potential energy over time. Move and rotate the molecules to see how they interact with their surrounding...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Evolution: Changes in the Environment
This activity places the control of the environment under the student's control. A field starts off with a uniform light level, and thus capable of growing plants with medium-sized leaves. Students can alter the environment by growing a...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Data Portal
Access and explore large datasets from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2003). Working with large datasets that emphasize exploration, finding patterns, and modeling is an essential first step in becoming...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Energy of a Pendulum
In this interactive, drag a pendulum to set its initial height and observe how height is related to potential energy. Then release the pendulum and observe the change from potential energy to kinetic energy, and ultimately to thermal...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Nonbonding
Bring two molecules together and observe potential energy changes.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Mixing Liquids
Experiment with mixing liquids and observing the volume they take up.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Gas Pressure in a Syringe
Explore why it is difficult to pull back on a capped syringe and why the plunger moves back in when you let go.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Van De Graaff Discharge
Charge up the Van de Graaff generator and drag the discharge wand close enough to form a spark. What happens to the electric potential energy when you charge the Van de Graaff and when the spark occurs?
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Target Game
Steer a charged particle to a target. Place particles in the game and charge them to guide a positive projectile around obstacles to hit a target. You can place any number of charged objects in any location to steer the positive particle...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Exploring Protein 3 D Structure
Build proteins from amino acid components. View the components of a protein (elements, amino acids) in different colors and zoom into several amino acids to understand how they link together to make a larger structure.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Structure of an Atom
Observe the probable location of electrons around an atom. Trace the electrons over time to draw conclusions about where electrons are likely to be found around an atom's nucleus. How does the trace pattern relate to the electron cloud...
