Construction of Figures by Using Symmetry and Translation: Applications

Students can learn from this interactive moment about symmetry and how to apply it.

Laws of Refraction – Practical Applications

This lesson moment presents practical applications of the laws of refraction.

First Law of Refraction

This interactive moment presents the first law of refraction that states that the ray of incidence, the normal line and the deflected ray are situated in the same plane.

Refraction of Light

In this interactive moment, students will learn about the refraction point on the surface of separation between water and air, in a daily life example.

Potential Elastic Energy: Introduction

In this interactive game, students are trying to hit the moving apple, using the bow and the arrows. In order to do that, they have to click on the bow and move the pointer up and down to orientate the arrow's direction; then let the mouse button go, in order to launch the arrow towards the apple.

The Lever

In this virtual application, students are encouraged to notice how the lever works, by choosing different weights and materials.

Application to Pascal’s Law – Drum Break

In this interactive moment, students can notice the drum brake, as an application of Pascal's law.

Factors that favor the dissolution of a solid in water

In order to observe the factors that favor the dissolution of a solid into water, students are asked to carry out an experiment in which they are asked to dissolve grains of copper sulphate and dust copper sulphate into water, then to dissolve cobalt chloride into water at a temperature of 20° and at a temperature of 80° and finally to dissolve sodium carbonate into water in two crystallizer tanks.

Importance of plants for life

Plants are true "live chemical factories", which generate oxygen. In order to prove that the plants consume the carbon dioxide in the cylinder and that their leaves generate oxygen, students are asked to carry out an experiment, following the instructions on the screen.

Methods for corrosion prevention

Students are asked to carry out an experiment in order to prove which are the oxygen proof metals, and how can corrosion be prevented in the case of oxygen non-proof metals.
