Math
--Science -- Integrated Math and Science -- Integrated Math and Art
The
following activities target a middle and high school population although some
of the activities are approachable by more advanced elementary school students.
The activities are also ideal for the general public
to review basic concepts and learn about new technologies.The
pages make extensive use of javascripts, and Java applets making for a more interactive
environment.
MASS
VOLUME DENSITYIntegrated
Math - Science - Art Activities
Measure objects using a triple beam balance-- measure volume with
a graduated cylinder- calculate the density of the an object. Online test assessment
and ideas for science projects. Try the Integrated Math-Science - Art Activity
using the Central Park Gates Project.
SCIENTIFIC
NOTATION Integrated
Math- Science Activities
Learn the basic principles of scientific notation. Javascript's
will enable you to practice converting any number from basic notation to scientific
notation.
UNITS
AND MEASUREMENT
What are the seven base units and their historical context? What
are derived units? Read a brief history of the metric system.
STATES
OF MATTERWhat
are the four states of matter? What is the 5th state of matter?
SOLUTIONS,
SUSPENSIONS, EMULSIONS AND COLLOIDSWhat
is the difference between the various mixtures: solutions, suspensions and colloids.
What are examples for each? How can we separate these mixtures? Muliple assessment
for each section, and final assessment. SPEED,
VELOCITY, ACCELERATION, VECTORS AND SCALARSSpeed,
Velocity, Acceleration, Vectors and Scalars... FORCE,
WORK, ENERGY AND POWERWhat
is force, energy, work and power? What are examples of energy? Newtons Laws, Mass,
Weight and Gravity... Assessments are provided for each section.
PRACTICE
INTERNATIONAL MATH AND SCIENCE TESTSEach
of the sample tests Edinformatics designed, use actual questions from the TIMSS
(Third International Math and Science Survey). Tests consist of 25 questions from
each of the representative groups. Test is marked online and can be compared to
other students that take the test -- Grades 3,4,7,8 ,10,12 and Advanced MathematicsATOMS
--ELEMENTS --COMPOUNDS What
are atoms, elements, compounds, molecules? What do atoms and molecules look like?
What are ionic and covalent compounds? How do we write a chemical formula?
SIMPLE
MACHINES What
are the six simple machines? What is mechanical advantage and how do we calculate
it for a lever?
THE
ATOM Learn
the basics of atomic structure and how to create a model of an atom.
CHEMICAL
BONDING Learn
the basics of chemical bonding.
PHYSICAL
OR CHEMICAL CHANGE?
What are chemical and physical properties? What is the difference
between a chemical and a physical change? Test your knowledge by taking an assessment
test! THE
SOLAR SYSTEMRead
about the planets, Moon, Earth, Comets, Asteroid Belt, Space Travel ... and more...
Test your knowledge by taking short assessment tests on each page!
CARBON
MODULE Learn
about the 3 types of carbon: diamonds, graphite and fullerenes. Learn why carbon
is is the building block to molecules of life.
VIEW
COMMON MOLECULES
View and manipulate (rotate/zoom) in 3-D common molecules such
as: methane, benzene, aspirin, water, caffeine, and DNA. Then click on the molecules
names and read why each is so important.
TIMELINE
DATABASESIntegrate
Science - Math - History
Searchable timelines (Physical Sciences) using either dates or
topic. Chronological list of mathematicians for the Arabic sphere, Europe, Greece,
India, and Japan ...
NANOTECHNOLOGY
RESOURCES Integrate
Science and Technology
You have probably already heard the term. But, what exactly is
Nanotechnology, and will it contribute to the next big technology wave?
WHAT
IS VOIP?Voice
over IP or IP Telephony, also called Internet telephony, is the technology that
makes it possible to have a telephone conversation over the Internet -- read

MORE
ON THE FULLERENE
This is the molecule has been making headlines
in Nanotechnology and now the drug industry also has interests in it. What does
it look like? How big is it? In this interactive activity you will measure the
diameter of a fullerene molecule using JAVA MAGE , a molecular modeling Java applet.
CARBON
CHIME Learn
how to use the online molecular modeling plug-in chime.
CARBON
3-D
Same module as 'carbon molecule', but images are generated using
the molecular modeling plug-in chime. This allows molecules to be rotated and
viewed in 3-D EXPLAIN
IT WITH MOLECULESIntegrate
Science and TechnologyHow
does soap work? -- Why is diamond so hard?-- Why do carcinogens like nicotine
cause cancer? -- Why is a salt crystal cubic in shape? -- This is an interactive
activity using the JMol applet which allows students to interact with molecules.
No plug-in is needed.
WATER
AND ICE
Why does ice float? Why is water so important to life? Use simple
molecular modeling software to view water and ice. Great science project ideas.
CREATIVE
SCIENCE PROJECT IDEAS Asymmetric
Facial Expressions, Experiments with Mushrooms, Changing Behavior Patterns in
Teens, Spectra of Stars... these are just a few examples of our list of projects.
WORLD
OF MOLECULES
Read about different types of molecules and why they are important. Examples include:
fuel molecules, antioxidants, molecules of life, solvent molecules, molecules
of color and more.
MATHEMATICS
AND MOLECULES Integrate
Math Science and Technology
The first of 5 integrated math and science activities using
Java mage is now available. Unlike chime, no software needs to be downloaded.
Your web browser must be Java enabled. When all 5 labs are online, this will
be an excellent supplement to grades 7-9 math and science classes.
