The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this activity to illustrate the principles of energy transfer. The demonstration uses a balance, matches, soda cans and a firecracker to show how energy can transfer between light, sound, heat and kinetic energy. Potential and...

This lesson from the STEM Action Center - Utah explores forces and motions at a kindergarten level. An activity worksheet is provided, which includes instructions and sample questions. This lesson fulfills the Utah kindergarten standard K.3.1.

This animation, created by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC), is a simulation of AC power that is used to create Radio Frequency (RF) plasma. RF plasma also exhibits glow regions, dark spaces, and sheaths. The objective of this simulation is to explain the relationship between...
