Students investigate factors affecting the rate of solubility. In this rate of solubility lesson plan, students experiment by crushing, heating and cooling solutes and solvents to see how the solubility is affected. For each situation,...

To conclude a mini unit on the dissolving of M&Ms® candy coating, this lesson investigates whether or not the concentration of sugar in the solvent affects the dissolving rate. Consider having older science learners write their own...

This lab activity is geared toward experienced chemistry learners, in particular, those who are familiar with organic chemistry. They will create a synthetic elastomer  and then make observations and measurements of its different...

Fifth graders determine the difference between a soluble and an insoluble solution and how to increase solubility. They make a saturated solution using solvents at different temperatures.

Ninth graders investigate the factors affecting solubility. In this chemistry lesson, 9th graders differentiate solvent and solute. They give examples of real world application of solutions.

Students determine the solubility of salt in water at three different temperatures and graph the results. They use the following skills: observing, inferring, and graphing.

High schoolers discover how temperature effects the solubility of solutes by experimenting with a range of temperatures. They develop skills for observing, inferring, measuring, comparing and contrasting.

Students identify the different types of mixtures. They identify examples of solutions, suspensions, colloidal dispersions, and emulsions through a game and basic experiments.

Learners predict the product of chemical reaction using the solubility rules. In this chemistry lesson plan, students balance ionic equation. They perform a lab to check if their predicted products are correct.

Students examine physical change with different temperature and solvents. In this elements and compounds instructional activity, students conduct experiments to discover what happens to the mass of a substance when is undergoes a...

Students evaluate pH levels through a solubility experiment. In this pH levels lesson, students list characteristics of acids and bases. Students complete their own pH level experiment. Students go to the GEMS Alien Juice Bar website to...

It's time to test observation and dissolving skills! After investigating the process of dissolving in previous lessons, pupils see if they can use their dissolving skills to identify substances. They dissolve known and unknown substances...

Students examine the rule of "like dissolves like." They define and describe solutions and solubility models on molecular liquids, ionic solids, and molecular solids.

Students calculate the concentration of different solutions. In this chemistry lesson, students explain what a solution is. They explain ways to change the concentration of a solution.

Students examine solubility and the significance of water.  In this aqueous solution instructional activity students complete a lab activity on soil profiles.

Students are introduced to the concept of chromatography. They practice using new vocabular and observing experiments. They answer discussion questions to end the lesson.

This in-depth organic chemistry lab walks learners through an investigation of the effect of initiator concentration on the resulting molecular weight of polystyrene. It is important that you use this lesson with experienced chemistry...

Students use chromatography to separate substances in Kool-Aid, Crayola markers and leaves. In this chromatography lesson plan, students make chromatograms to separate substances in a mixture through absorption. Students find the Rf...

Students investigate friction between different surfaces. In this physics lesson plan, students research biomaterials that can reduce friction. They calculate efficiency using a mathematical formula.

Students explain the importance of the five main biogeochemical cycles. In this chemistry lesson, students discuss how ions are transported in the environment. They design an experiment to collect data on eutrophication.
