RI-ITEST Activities

info try Intro to Modeling (v1)
This activity introduces the concept of a computer model as well as the typical controls used by models in the Molecular Workbench. It is recommended to do this activity first before all other activities.
info try Atoms and Energy (v1)
The goal of this activity is to explore potential energy and kinetic energy, as well as energy conservation, and to apply what you learn to both our human scale world and the world of atoms and molecules.
info try Heat and Temperature (v1)
What exactly are heat and temperature? In this activity, you will learn about these concepts.
info try Electrostatics (v1)
Electrostatics is the study of the interactions among objects that carry charges.
info try Electricity (v1)
In this activity, you will learn the microscopic pictures for important concepts about electric current.
info try Atomic Structure (v1)
What is the correct model of an atom? The one you have learned about in the past is commonly not the right one.
info try Newton's Laws at the Atomic Scale (v1)
Newton's laws tell us how objects move and respond to forces. In this activity, we'll explore Newton's laws at the atomic scale.
info try Spectroscopy (v1)
Spectroscopy is the science of identifying atoms by the light they emit. Each kind of atom emits light of a particular color.
info try Atoms, Excited States, and Photons (v2)
When an atom stores energy it goes into an excited state, and when it releases that energy it goes back into the ground state.

RI-ITEST Activities

info try Atoms, Excited States, and Photons (v1)
When an atom stores energy it goes into an excited state, and when it releases that energy it goes back into the ground state.
info try Diffusion, Osmosis, and Active Transport (v1)
In this activity, you'll explore diffusion, osmosis, and active transport.
info try Lipids and Carbohydrates (v1)
This activity will begin your study of how the structure of organic compounds are related to their function.
info try Chemical Reactions and Stoichiometry (v1)
This activity will allow you to explore reactions in which chemical bonds are formed and broken.

RI-ITEST Activities

info try Phase Change (v1)
In this activity, you will examine what the primary phases -- the states of matter (gas, liquid and solid) -- look like at the atomic level. Then you'll explore phase change.
info try Gas Laws (v1)
The Ideal Gas Law describes the relationship among pressure, temperature, volume and number of gas molecules. In this activity, you will demonstrate the relationships of the variables in the equation.
info try Intermolecular Attractions (v1)
In this activity you will explore how molecular level attractions are the foundation of these phenomena and many other everyday experiences.
info try Molecular Geometry (v1)
In this activity you will explore the geometry of molecules and learn how it affects their properties and functions.
Solubility
info try Chemical Bonds (v1)
Electrons are key to forming the two broad categories of chemical bonds: covalent and ionic. Atoms, which have a nucleus surrounded by electrons, are represented in several different ways.
info try Chemical Reactions and Stoichiometry (v2)
This activity will allow you to explore reactions in which chemical bonds are formed and broken.
Chemical Reactions and Energy

RI-ITEST Activities

info try Diffusion, Osmosis, and Active Transport (v2)
In this activity, you'll explore diffusion, osmosis, and active transport.
ATP - Biological Energy
info try Four Levels of Protein Structure (v1)
In this activity, you'll explore the way proteins fold into complex shapes so they can perform a wide variety of critical tasks in the cell.
Structure and Function of Proteins
info try Proteins and Nucleic Acids (v1)
This activity will begin your study of the structure of proteins and nucleic acids.
info try DNA to Proteins (v1)
This activity will focus on how information stored in DNA is read by the cell and used to build proteins that the cell needs.
Photobiology
info try Lipids and Carbohydrates (v2)
This activity will begin your study of how the structure of organic compounds are related to their function.
info try Photosynthesis (v1)
This activity models the light/matter interactions of photosynthesis.
