Heat to Go
This resource provides alternative or additional tier-one learning options for students learning about heat transfer, Chemistry TEKS (11)(B).
Celsius 4-1-1: All About Thermal Energy
This resource supports Chemistry TEKS (11)(A).
Specifically Speaking about Heat Capacity
This resource, developed to support Chemistry TEKS (11)(D), provides alternative or additional tier-one learning options to help students understand the concept of specific heat capacity.
Projectile Motion
This resource provides alternative or additional tier-one learning options for students learning about projectile motion—Physics TEKS (4)(C).
Kinetic Molecular Theory
This resources allows students to explore the postulates of the Kinetic Molecular Theory in order to better understand why gas particles behave the way that they do.
Quantifying Changes in Chemical Reactions: Empirical Formula
Given the descriptions or chemical formulas, students will use relative masses of elements in substance to calculate and determine the ratio of atoms of each element in a compound so as to determine percent composition or empirical formula.
Ideal Gas Law
Given descriptions, scenarios, or diagrams, students will use the formula for the ideal gas law to calculate pressure, temperature, volume, or moles of a gas.
Waves—Properties
Given diagrams, descriptions or illustrations, students will determine the properties of wave motion and wave propagation as they pass through different media.
Scientific Methods - Equipment for Chemistry
Given laboratory investigation scenarios, students will determine the equipment that best fits the procedure.
Lewis Valence Electron Dot Structures
Given descriptions, diagrams, and chemical symbols of any element, students will show the arrangement of electrons in the outer-most energy levels by using Lewis valence electron dot structures.
3.01 Distance and Displacement
In this video, we explore the difference between distance traveled (an example of a scalar) and displacement (an example of a vector), and we review some basic vector math.
3.02 Average Speed and Average Velocity
In this video, we explore the difference between speed and velocity, and their relationship to distance and displacement.
3.03 Kinematic Equations in One Dimension
In this video, we introduce the three primary kinematics equations and apply them to one-dimensional problems. The term "acceleration" is also introduced.
3.04 Kinematic Equations Graphical Analysis
In this video, we analyze hypothetical experiments by graphing position, velocity, and acceleration versus time, qualitatively.
3.05 Kinematic Equations in Two Dimensions
In this video, we apply the three primary kinematic equations to projectile motion problems.
3.06 Relative Motion
In this video, the inherent (classical) relativity of velocity measurements is explored, qualitatively and quantitatively, in both one and two dimensions.
10.01 Wave Nature of Light
In this video, we will study the wave-like properties of light.
10.02 Particle Nature of Light
