In
this
activity
students
will
discover
that
magnetism
is
the
force
produced
by
magnets
which
does
all
of
the
"holding"
and
that
it
is
also
a
very
important
force
in
nature.
This
activity
introduces
the
student
to
simple
toy
magnets
to
explore
magnetic
attraction
to
items
which
contain
metal
by
using
paper
clips.
Students
will
experience
that
a
magnetic
force
is
invisible
and
explore
the
magnets
attracting

The
purpose
of
this
activity
is
to
encourage
students
to
learn
about
lenses
by
examining
them
firsthand
and
observing
their
similarities
and
differences.
They
will
examine
various
lenses
and
write
a
description
of
what
each
one
looks
like,
what
objects
look
like
when
viewed
through
them,
and
other
information
that
they
decide
is
necessary
to
enhance
their
understanding
of
how
lenses
change
the
way

In
this
activity
students
look
closely
at
a
variety
of
lenses
and
describe
how
the
they
are
shaped.
The
terms
convex
and
concave
are
introduced
for
describing
types
of
lenses.
As
students
discover
new
things
about
how
they
look
at
objects,
they
will
write
their
discoveries
in
their
science
notebooks.
They
are
encouraged
to
look
through
the
lenses
at
the
pages
of
a
book,
their
hands,
and
other
objects,

Students
working
in
pairs
or
in
small
groups
will
predict
how
to
make
a
rainbow
using
the
materials
they
are
given,
then
compare
the
rainbows
that
they
produce
with
other
groups
of
students
and
identify
and
record
the
colors
that
they
see.
They
should
also
draw
diagrams
that
show
how
a
prism
separates
the
colors
of
light.
Alternative
methods
to
demonstrate
the
separation
of

In
this
activity,
students
will
investigate
various
aspects
of
the
behavior
of
light.
First,
they
will
use
diffraction
gratings
to
view
the
colors
or
spectrum
produced
by
visible
light,
then
hold
the
diffraction
grating
in
front
of
different
light
sources
and
record
the
colors
that
they
see.
They
will
examine
common
materials
to
determine
whether
they
are
transparent,
translucent,
or
opaque
and
use

In
this
activity
students
will
observe
and
try
to
interpret
a
"closed
system,"
a
system
which
allows
the
transfer
of
energy
in
and
out,
but
not
the
exchange
of
material.
They
will
realize
that
work
can
be
done
within
the
closed
system
as
a
result
of
the
transfer
of
energy
into
the
system
even
though
nothing
within
the
closed
system
was
physically
touched.
Students
will
also
exercise
their
understanding

This set of four animated slides illustrates the Coriolis effect, a manifestation of one of Newton's laws which says that objects move in a straight line, in an "inertial" frame of reference, unless acted upon by a force. The slides use the analogy of a ball thrown on a rotating carousel.

This Java application allows users to pump gas molecules into a box and watch what happens as they change volume, add or remove heat, and adjust gravity. Using the temperature and pressure gauges, users can discover how the properties of the gas vary in relation to one another.
