Students investigate soap bubbles. In this soap bubble chemistry instructional activity, students observe a demonstration using pop-it beads to represent a soap molecule. Students produce soap bubbles in the lab by making bubbles with a large bubble maker. Students use geometric wire models to investigate planes, lines and angles produced when the lines and planes intersect.
Tenth graders arrange the elements in the periodic table according to their properties. In this chemistry lesson, 10th graders participate in a live broadcast using justin.tv. They post their questions to the chemist via live chat room.
Learners examine the observed world, molecular world, and the symbolic world of chemistry. They observe a demonstration of the conductivity of solutions, describe the properties of acids and bases, and predict the outcome of solution reactions.
Students create a poster that shows the benefits and responsibilities of people in a chemistry related career. They view an introductory video that shows many examples of chemistry related careers and choose one to compile internet research for the poster.
Learners research alchemy and the history of chemistry. In this chemistry history lesson, students examine laboratory apparatus and compare it to those used by the Alchemists. Learners complete a research paper on an important contributor from the Renaissance era to modern Chemistry.
Students investigate which metal is best to use as storage material in hydrogen cars. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate endothermic and exothermic reactions. They write a reflection paragraph about what they learned in the activity.
Students investigate the carbon dioxide content of different sodas. In this chemistry lesson plan, students explain why PET containers are preferable than HDPE for soda bottles. They collect data and graph them.
Students build metal atomic models using styrofoam. In this chemistry lesson, students identify the different unique properties of metals. They explain how metal atoms bond.
Ninth graders investigate the effect of different gases in the atmosphere. In this chemistry lesson, 9th graders explain how these gases contribute to global warming. They suggest possible solutions to this growing problem.
Young scholars investigate foods that are indicators, and acids and bases. In this food chemistry lesson plan, students test household products with litmus paper and with food indicators. They use blackberry, onion and red cabbage indicators to test acids and bases.
