Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Atoms and Energy

Online activity walks learner through exploration of kinetic and potential energy using animations. Through graphs, a quantitative connection is made between the movement and the energy involved. This information is then related to the conservation of energy and the laws of thermodynamics at the atomic level. Interactive opportunities are found on each page, as well as multiple choice and short answer questions to check learning. Teachers can register if they choose to monitor students' progress and access a full teacher guide for the activity as well as pre- and post-tests.
