Learning Objects

Natural Sciences

Dive into Wisc-Online’s rich collection of learning objects — bite-sized, interactive, and designed for real learning. These modular digital tools include animations, drag-and-drop exercises, quizzes, videos, and more. You can explore topics across STEM, arts, humanities, career skills, and beyond. Each learning object is crafted to help learners actively engage with content—reviewing, applying, self-checking—in a way that’s flexible and self-paced.

Why Wisc-Online Moved to WisTech Open

In January 2026, Wisc-Online transitioned to WisTech Open to better align with current educational standards and long-term goals. During this process, the catalog was reviewed and content that did not meet accessibility requirements or was outdated was removed. Games were also taken down, and the team is evaluating the possibility of adding them back in the future with accessibility and quality standards in mind.

Learning Object
Identifying Eukaryotic Animal Cell Organelles
In this animated object, learners are introduced to the structure and function of animal cell organelles.
Main Category
Agriculture
Introduction to the Periodic Table (Screencast)
In this screencast, students read about the basic organization and structure of the periodic table of elements. Students identify elements as belonging to a group, a period, or neither.
Measuring Volume Using a Graduated Cylinder
Learners view an explanation of how to read a graduated cylinder by measuring the lowest portion of the meniscus. A quiz completes the activity.
Molarity
Students solve a molarity problem in a drag and drop exercise.
Mole Ratios in Chemical Equations
Learners use the coefficients in a balanced equation to develop the mole ratios of reactants and products involved in the reaction. Five interactive examples illustrate the method, and students test their knowledge by working four problems.
Naming Binary Ionic Compounds Containing Fixed Oxidation State Cations
Learners examine a table containing the names of common cations and anions.
Naming Binary Ionic Compounds Containing Variable Oxidation State Cations (Screencast)
Roman numerals are used to identify the charges on metal cations having multiple oxidation states. Five examples are provided for practice.
Naming Compounds Containing Polyatomic Ions
Learners examine a table of common polyatomic ions. Eight examples are provided for practice.
Newton's First Law of Motion - Video
The learner views several animations to study Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as "The Law of Inertia."
Newton's Second Law of Motion - Video
In this learning activity you'll examine force, mass, and acceleration to understand this "Law of Acceleration."
