To understand sound, you first need to understand matter. Everything is made up of matter. Learn more in the simulation above.Interactive
Watch the simulation to learn the parts of an airplane.Interactive
At a convergent plate boundary, lithospheric plates move toward each other. The west margin of the South American continent, where the oceanic Nazca Plate is pushed toward and beneath the continental...Interactive
At a divergent plate boundary lithospheric plates move away from each other. As the two sides move away from each other, magma wells up from the Earth's interior. It then solidifies into rock as it is...Interactive
At a lateral plate boundary, plates slide past each other. The San Andreas fault in California is an example of a transform plate boundary, where the Pacific Plate slides past the North American Plate...Interactive
The Sun is a natural source of visible light waves. Our eyes see the reflection of the sunlight off the objects around us. Check out the simulation to learn more about scattering light.Interactive
As you take a deep sniff, the odor particles in the air flow back to the top of your nose. Learn more about the sense of smell in the simulation.Interactive
Thrust is the force that propels or drives an airplane forward. This force can be produced by an engine spinning a propeller or a jet engine expelling hot gas from the back. Watch the simulation.Interactive
If you want to understand electricity, you first need to know a little about matter, atoms and electrons.
