Emulsions
Students identify the characteristics and composition of emulsions. For this chemistry lesson, students classify household products according to emulsion type. They explain how to make the best emulsion.
Curated OER
Through Thick or Thin!!!
Young scholars differentiate between high and low viscosity. Students collect, graph, and interpret data, then quantitatively measure polymer solids. Young scholars experiment with a household example of an emulsion polymer.
