Help Dracula find his bat by participating in the following activity. Black cardboard paper cutout of a bat Cardboard box lined with white cardboard paper on the inside Stare at the black bat for at least 30 seconds. Immediately stare at the inside of the white box . What did you see when you started staring at the white box? You should have seen a faint image of the black bat that you were staring at. This faint image is called an afterimage. The cause of the afterimage is thought to be an adaptation of the sensory mechanism to a repeated or uninterrupted stimulus. For example, strong odors that seem to disappear after a while or how you don't notice the feel of your clothes after you have been wearing them for a while. Your ey Read More Go to Site The Atoms Family - Dracula's Library - Radiometer Votes:0 Dracula has just finished building his radiometer rack to alert him when too much light is present. Since he's afraid of the light, he wants you to test it out for him. Aim the light (your mouse) at the radiometers below and observe how they react. Notice how the sails on the radiometers spin after the light is shining on them. A radiometer consists of a set of vanes, each shiny on one side and blackened on the other. When the light strikes the shiny surface, most of it is reflected away, but when it strikes the blackened surface, most of it is absorbed, raising the temperature of the surface. The vanes turn because the air near the blackened surface becomes hotter and exerts a greater pressure on it than on the shiny surface. Light has qualities of both waves and particles. These radiomet Read More Go to Site The Atoms Family - Dracula's Library - Reflections Votes:0 Dracula has a hole in his roof, the sun is rising and he needs your help quickly! Participate in the following activity and learn how to reflect the incoming light out of his house. Small mirror Protractor Flashlight Setup the mirror and the protractor as illustrated Use the flashlight to shine a beam as the ray in the angle of incident and note the angle of the beam on the protractor. The ray that strikes the mirror is called the incident or striking ray. The ray that is bounced back by the mirror is called the reflected ray. Does the beam that is reflected in the angle of reflection show the same degree on the protractor? The angle between the incident ray and the surface of the mirror is called the angle of incident. Whereas the angle between the reflected ray and the surface of the mir Read More Go to Site The Atoms Family - Frankenstein's Lab - Fruity Electricity Votes:0 Frankenstein's lab is running out of electricity and Igor has asked you to help him find a temporary source of energy to get a single light for the good doctor. His blood-shot eyes stare into yours as he begs for your help. That's when you spot the bowl of fruit. Can fruit help Igor make electricity? citrus fruit (lemons or limes work best) 1 copper screw about 5 cm long 1 zinc screw about 5 cm long 1 holiday light with 5 cm leads You remember that a battery is nothing more that a device that stores metals and chemicals. And all that citrus contains acids so maybe, just maybe, you can help poor Igor out. 1. Roll the fruit under the palm of your hand to soften but be careful you don't break the skin. Work it gently on a piece of scrap paper or a paper towel. 2. Insert the screws into the fr Read More Go to Site The Atoms Family - The Mummy's Tomb - Building a Better Pyramid Votes:0 Insulation is used to conserve energy inside buildings. Help build a better pyramid by insulating the pyramid below. You'll notice that adding insulation to the pyramid will decrease the temperature inside. What happens when you add more layers of insulation? How many layers of insulation would be the most efficient and why? Layers of Insulation Click on the above numbers to change the layers of insulation added! Temperature Outside the Pyramid 110°F You can buy this resource on CD-ROM for use on computers without internet access. Visit our online store for more information! Read More Go to Site The Atoms Family - The Mummy's Tomb - Cooling The Mummy's Tomb Votes:0 The Pharaoh has asked your help to design a better tomb. Seems he's concerned about the Sun's heat having less than positive effects on his body during his stay in the Hall of Judgment. You have decided to see if insulation, materials that restrict the flow of heat, will help keep the tomb cool. But the Pharaoh is stingy. Before any changes are made to the tomb, he wants to be certain that he's not wasting his precious gold to buy insulation that's not needed. 6 Styrofoam cups and 3 lids 3 thermometers water ice 1000 ml beaker 1. Make a prediction – which cup will stay cool longest? 2. Mix 500 ml of water with enough ice to lower the temperature to 10°C (about 200 ml of ice). 3. Make a hole in the cup lids so that you can put a thermometer in the cup and still read it without removing Read More Go to Site The Atoms Family - The Mummy's Tomb - Paper Cutting Votes:0 The Phantom wants to create life sized models of atoms, and he wants your help! Help the Phantom investigate the world of the very small by cutting a 28 centimeter strip of paper in half as many times as you can. If you can cut the strip of paper in half 31 times you will end up with a piece of paper the size of an atom. 1 strip of paper 28 centimeters long (11" inches) 1 pair of scissors Take your strip of paper and cut it into equal halves. Cut one of the remaining pieces of paper into equal halves. Continue to cut the strip into equal halves as many times as you can. Make all cuts parallel to the first one. When the width gets longer than the length, you may cut off the excess, but that does not count as a cut. How far did you get? Here are some comparisons to think about! Cut 1 14 Read More Go to Site The Atoms Family - The Mummy's Tomb - Raceways Votes:0 The Mummy is building a roller coaster to entertain the Atom's Family monsters and needs your help with the concepts of Kinetic and Potential energy. Help the Mummy by making a model roller coaster. two chairs masking tape yard sticks 3 shooter marbles one 8-foot strip of vinyl ceiling molding 1. Place the chairs back to back, but about 3 feet apart. 2. Tape the ends of the track to the chairs so that the center hangs down to the floor like the letter U. Use masking tape to secure the bottom of the track to the floor. 3. Place a marble on one end of the track and let it roll down. How many times did the marble travel back and forth before it stopped in the middle? This activity illustrates potential and kinetic energy. Where was the marble when it had the most potential energy? Where was i Read More Go to Site The Atoms Family - The Phantom's Portrait Parlor - Mighty Molecules Votes:0 You've learned that atoms are the building blocks of molecules and molecules are the building blocks of matter. The Phantom needs your help to construct a few molecules and, like a true scientist, he wants to make a few models of the molecules first. 4 miniature marshmallows (oxygen) 7 red gum drops (hydrogen) 7 green gum drops (chlorine) 2 yellow gum drops (sulfur) 25 toothpicks (covalent bonds) 1. Construct models of the following molecules: H2, HCl, H2O (Hint: attach the hydrogen at right angles to the oxygen) 2. Now construct models of these molecules: Cl2, H2S, Cl2 O and Cl2S 3. Classify the molecules as a gas, liquid or solid at room temperature. 4. Draw diagrams of each of the model molecules you have constructed. Check your diagram with the diagrams in the Handbook of Chemistry or Read More Go to Site The Atoms Family - The Phantom's Portrait Parlor - Spectroscope Votes:0 The Phantom has provided you with a simulated spectroscope of an Atom! Amuse the Phantom by observing the spectroscope below and you'll learn more about the Atom. Observe the above simulated spectroscope of an atom. Watch how the single electron (yellow) is spinning around the nucleus (red). Notice how much space is between the nucleus and the surrounding electron cloud. Even in a simple atom with only one electron, the electron moves in a random orbit, creating a cloud-like effect, as seen in this demonstration. Protons (found in the nucleus of an atom) and Electrons (spinning around the center of an atom) are electrically charged. Protons have a positive charge, and electrons have a negative charge. Neutrons have no electrical charge, and are therefore neutral. Particles which have oppos Read More Go to Site The Atoms Family - The Wolf Man's Ghostly Graveyard - All Energy Is Not Equal Votes:0 Pushing, pulling and falling has the Wolf Man confused about energy. He thinks that one type of energy is just as good as another. And why shouldn't he? Most people do and take that notion right into the Ghostly Graveyard! And this problem with Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and greenhouse gasses and global warming. That's got the furry graveyard sexton worried too. You realize that the only way different types of fuels can be compared is to examine their energy content on a standard scale.
