This video, from WGBH, takes a look at the Baha SAE off-road competition, organized by SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) International. The video explains how students take an off-road vehicle all the way from the design phase to completion and the competition. Here, visitors will see the...

This simulation of Ohm's Law is from the Physics Education Technology website of the University of Colorado. Included are links to related topics and additional ideas and activities for teachers to use. See how the equation form of Ohm's law relates to a simple circuit. Adjust the voltage and...

The ATETV project delivers web-based videos to connect students to careers in advanced technology. In this episode of ATETV, industry partnerships, architectural technology, and underwater robotics are discussed. Community colleges provide hands-on education with a direct link to what is going on in...

Created by Terry L.M. Bartelt of the Wisconsin Online Resource Center provides this animation showing the one-shot operation of a programmable logic controller. The resource uses Flash animation and is overall a nice, brief introduction to the topic.

This webpage, created by Pamela Redmond for Teaching and Learning Interchange, provides video case studies and resources for instructors who teach math and science.  The video cases "demonstrate lessons from real general science, biology, chemistry, physics, algebra and geometry classrooms at the...

This interactive presentation, created by Terry Bartelt for the Electromechanical Digital Library, discusses phase splitting in single-phase motors. Bartelt begins with a discussion of the sine waves that starts this process. After this important introduction, the author allows the student to...

Circuit Construction Kit adds capacitors, inductors and AC voltage sources to your toolbox! Now you can graph the current and voltage as a function of time.This simulation of a Circuit Construction Kit(AC+DC)is from the Physics Education Technology website of University of Colorado. Included are...

Experiment with conductivity in metals, plastics and photoconductors. See why metals conduct and plastics don't, and why some materials conduct only when you shine a flashlight on them. This simulation of a Conductivity is from the Physics Education Technology website of University of Colorado....

Pump gas molecules to a box and see what happens as you change the volume, add or remove heat, change gravity, and more. Measure the temperature and pressure, and discover how the properties of the gas vary in relation to each other. This simulation of a Gas Properties is from the Physics Education...

Learn about the physics of resistance in a wire. Change its resistivity, length, and area to see how they affect the wire's resistance. The sizes of the symbols in the equation change along with the diagram of a wire.This simulation of a Resistance in a Wire is from the Physics Education Technology...
