A share-a-thon is a place where teachers can voluntarily upload their files for other teachers to use. When a teacher submits a file, it is catalogued and placed into a database. To view more materials from the topic above or from different branches of science click here.
Refraction
I made this to show how the speed of the wave could affect wavelength without changing frequency as a lead in to refraction. The only interactive on this one is the buttons to shift medium and angles.
Closed End Resonance
One of the toughest concepts to show is sound because the mechanism is invisible. I tried to model compression and rarefaction for closed end resonance tube with tuning fork. (speed of sound lab) this one shows displacement and pressure curves
Open End Resonance
One of the toughest concepts to show is sound because the mechanism is invisible. I tried to model compression and rarefaction for open end resonance tube with tuning fork. this one shows displacement and pressure curves
Magnetism And Current Flow
These animations to try to show the right hand rule for relating current, flow, magnetic field direction and moving charge. This topic is more for AP physics since it includes lenzs law but a pretty good start demonstrated basic magnetism.
More Magnetism And Right Hand Rule
These animations to try to show the right hand rule for relating current, flow, magnetic field direction and moving charge. This topic is more for AP physics since it includes lenzs law but a pretty good start demonstrated basic magnetism.
Doppler Effect
This doppler effect involves sound but I added the blue shift to explain light since it was the same general code.
Simple Magnet Demonstration
A simple animation of paramagnetic and diamagnetic materials which shows why some materials can be magnetized but are not. They can become magnetized if possible. It also helps to explain why magnetic direction is maintained when the magnet is broken.
Electroscope
This one is designed to show induction and charging effect of an electroscope. I use PVC and a rabbit so I only get negative charge induction and charge but at least it shows the charges which are otherwise invisible.
Electrostatic Precipitator
One of the most common uses of electrostatic fields is the precipitator. It can collect dust particles in even high flow environments such as coal burning power plants. Turn on charge grid and discuss the effect of the field on the charge
