Curated OER
Marine Habitats of Galveston Island
Four lessons introduce elementary ecologists to salt marsh and sandy beach habitats. In the first lesson plan, they place shells and other materials in vinegar to determine if they contain calcium carbonate. In the second lesson plan,...

Thermal Decomposition of Calcium Carbonate
In this thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate worksheet, high schoolers perform three experiments on calcium carbonate, make observations and write the equations for each reaction. Students explain in detail what happened at each...
Curated OER
Stoichiometry Worksheet I
In this chemistry worksheet, students explain how many moles of oxygen gas are needed to react with a certain number of moles of ammonia. They also identify how many grams of oxygen are needed to react with a certain number of grams of...
Curated OER
Chemical or Physical?
Fourth graders make observations of the reactions that happens between calcium carbonate and various liquids. During the experiment the students determine if there is a chemical change, a physical reaction, or no reaction when they mix...
