Interactives (Online activities for student interaction & practice with content):

• Water
  • Properties of Water Virtual Lab (students build water molecules and observe Covalent and Hydrogen bonding interactions. Students click the Reference Tool to read about properties of water, have a labeling activity and can change the temperature to observe the reaction of the molecules in response. 
  • Changes of State Simulation (students learn what happens when water changes state in terms of energy and particle movement)
  • Thermochemistry Virtual Lab (students choose to immerse silver, gold, copper, iron or one of two unknown metals into water and observe the temperature change)
  • Element Reactions with Cold Water, Hot Water & Steam (students click to read & see images of how Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium, Sodium, Aluminum, Zinc & Iron react with water)
  • Reactions of Sodium with Cold Water (students view photos and video of this reaction)
  • Reaction of Calcium with Water (students view photos and video of this reaction)
• Hydrogen
  • Models of the Hydrogen Atom Simulation (How did scientists figure out the structure of atoms without looking at them? Students try out different models by shooting light at the atom. Check how the prediction of the model matches the experimental results)
  • Properties of Hydrogen (webpage reading containing everything a student needs to know about the Element Hydrogen; multiple embedded videos to illustrate properties)
  • The Hydrogen Bond (In this interactive object, students examine a type of chemical bond known as the “hydrogen bond.”)
  • Laboratory Preparation of Gases (students review this website to visualize the reactions and lab setups for the preparation of various gases, including Hydrogen)
  •  Application: Gas Balloons & Buoyancy Simulation (students xperiment with a helium balloon, a hot air balloon, or a rigid sphere filled with different gases. Discover what makes some balloons float and others sink)

Games (Online games for students to apply & test their content knowledge):

• Water
  • States of Water (Play around with ice, water and steam to find out what happens when you heat and cool them)
  • Kelvin Adventures: What Water? (Help Kelvin advert a watery catastrophe! Our action hero needs your help to unblock the water supply. Mastering the properties of water will help you direct Kelvin on the right path)
•  Hydrogen
  • Hydrogen Trivia Game
