This is the portal for the Concord Consortium's Science of Atoms and Molecules Project (SAM), a collection of field-tested activities designed to integrate biology, chemistry, and physics. Each activity provides guided explorations through simulations and models, all within a framework that builds a foundation for understanding atomic/molecular structure. The collection features four themes: motion and energy, charge, atoms/molecules, and light. The overarching concept that connects all four is that atoms and molecules are the fundamental basis for all interactions. The models are all free to all registered users. Registration allows teachers to set up classroom groups, capture student data, and store student work products.

SAM is part of the Concord Consortium, an NSF-supported project that provides a library of "deeply digital" examples to support technology-based curriculum materials. The collection covers a wide range of topics in physics, biology, and chemistry.

Please note that this resource requires Java.
Editor's Note: NOTE: Although the resources in this collection run in Java, they run well in most major browsers if you have the latest version of Java downloaded.

Topic: Particles and Interactions and the Standard Model
Unit Title: Matter and Interactions

This is a collection of field-tested activities designed to integrate high school biology, chemistry, and physics. Each lesson provides guided explorations through simulations and models, featuring 4 themes: motion and energy, charge, atoms/molecules, and light. The overarching concept that connects all four is that atoms and molecules are the fundamental basis for all interactions.
