Molecular Expressions from Florida State University is a wonderful source for fine science education "learning tools". The simple, elegant tool we highlight here shows the classic Rutherford Experiment. This experiment was crucial to our understanding of the structure of the atom. Just change the width of the slit to see what happens. |

The Molecular Workbench Software is a great "learning tool". Molecular Workbench is free molecular modeling software for use in education. Unlike the static ball-and-stick models that do not move, the Molecular Workbench software computes and visualizes the motion of ensembles of atoms and molecules. You must download the FREE software to use this tool. Developed by the Concord Consortium, a leader in science and math education. |
