We all know something about gravity, but what about the other fundamental forces of physics? Explore the properties of two familiar forces experienced in daily life, and of two less familiar ones. How do they interact, and what keeps everything from falling apart? This video was Kate Dent's entry into the 2013 Sleek Geeks ...
Peter Binks, CEO of Nanotechnology Victoria, answers the question 'How does nanotechnology work?' Discover what nanotechnology is and see several examples in action, such as scratch-resistant paint used in the car industry. Consider future applications of nanotechnology in areas such as sports, health care, clothing and cleaning.
This is a teacher resource for applications of logarithmic and exponential functions consisting of a website and a PDF with identical content. It contains examples of applications of exponential and logarithmic functions such as radioactive half-life and population growth.
An interview with Dr Jack Bacon, NASA engineer and futurist. Jack talks to a teacher from Sydney Girls High School about his experiences on the Vomit comet and his research into alternative energy sources. Jack also shares with us his predictions for the future of science, space travel and energy sources.
A page with a focus on exploring different models of the atom. Includes tasks to present models of the atom.
Coming into contact with a large dose of radiation is known to be hazardous. But will it make you light up like a car dashboard at night? Some anecdotes that will engage the students to learn about radioactivity while dispelling a few myths.
This ABC article or podcast by Dr Karl describes and outlines the role of the particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider and how it is helping to research the nature of mass. This article is dated (2008) as some significant results from the Large Hadron Collider have since been announced.
Electrons around atoms can absorb and emit photons of particular colours of light – see three different atomic models explain what's going on.
See how scientists such as Ernest Rutherford have investigated the structure of atoms. Explore possible models. Fire charged particles at atoms and find which model best fits the results. This learning object is one in a series of six objects. Three of the objects are also packaged as a combined learning object.
This interactive simulation explores isotopes and nuclear decay. In a series of simulations students explore how the changing the number of neutrons or protons affects the atomic number and isotope; investigate and predict how the shell model depiction of an isotope based on the isotope symbol or name; and predict the resulting ...
This interactive simulation explores isotopes and how the average atomic mass of an element changes given a change in the abundance of its isotopes. In a series of simulations students explore the stability of various isotopes and investigate how this relates to the proportions of isotopes in naturally occurring elements. ...
