Physical Science Home Page
 

               This page is designed to provide the user with links to various science sites.
                The sites are often interactive applet sites, which means that you, the
                student, can run an experiment by changing parameters and see what
                happens.

                Have fun learning and exploring!
 
 

             Chemistry Topics:

       Periodic Table - This site provides insight into the location of electrons
                                                    in an atom. Pick an element and note the
                                                    location of the electrons in their energy levels
                                                    and orbitals.

            What is "Valence"? - A brief description of what valence electrons are.

            Chem Balancer - Practice balancing chemical equations... It's as easy as
                                              "1, 2, 3 ".
 

             Physics Topics:

        Frictional Force Systems - A challenging simulation of a pulley system
                                                                 WITH FRICTION! Even free body diagrams are
                                                                  included. Adjust the amount of the masses, the
                                                                  amount of friction, etcetera. Enjoy!

           Momentum Conservation - Momentum conservation in one dimension.
                                                                   Watch that center of mass.
 

           Thin Lenses - Suppose you wish to create an enlarged,
                                          virtual, upright image one and a half times larger than
                                          the original object. What type of lens wouldyou use? !
                                        Where would you place the image? Try it.

           Superposition - Want to see some neat patterns? Check this one out.
                                             Psychodelic..Vary source separation distances,
                                             and wavelengths.Check out those antinodes!
