Students use microscopes to study live fish embryos and animated diagrams of cell division on the Internet. They see that scientists rely on technology to enhance the gathering and manipulation of data. They create web pages on cloning.

From molecules to nanotubes, an engaging unit explores the world of tiny science. Fifteen hands-on experiments and lessons engage young scientists as they learn chemistry. Discussions, worksheets, and data analysis reinforce the concepts...

Watch red cabbage juice turn green. Pupils first watch a video that takes them through the process of creating red cabbage juice. They then add various solids and liquids to the juice and use the color change to determine whether the...

Transcription means a written copy but how can DNA write a message? The video explains transcription and translation as they relate to DNA and RNA. Then in the interactive, scholars practice base pairing and answer analysis...

Your class is bound to be fascinated by this virtual lab! Young biochemists explore molecules that bind to specific sites on the DNA molecule through a skillful simulation. The lesson challenges learners to create a DNA-bound solution...

More than half of AP Chemistry test takers earn a high enough score to get college credit. Improve that statistic by using past test questions including precipitate, molarity, and chemical equations to prepare for a future exam. The...

In this nucleic acids activity, students answer twelve questions about DNA and RNA and their structures. They also identify bases in a sequence of DNA that would be transcribed.

Students explore acids, bases and salts. They define acid and base. Students describe the characteristics and properties of acids and bases. They relate the processes of ionization and dissociation to the formation of acids and bases.

Eighth graders design and perform an experiment that uses a Universal Indicator Color Guide to measure the strength of acids and bases. They also determine happens when acids and bases are mixed together. They decide which of three...

Students comprehend the basics of acid and base chemistry, with an emphasis on computation and equilibrium. They are introduced to the following concepts: Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, Lewis definitions, Hydrogen Ion equilibrium, and...

Open this lesson by demonstrating the production of acidic carbon dioxide gas by activated yeast. Emerging ecologists then experiment with seashells to discover the effect of ocean acidification on shelled marine organisms. They measure...

In this weak acid and base worksheet, students find the pH of solutions given the equilibrium constants for each of the weak acids and weak bases.

Students investigate the strength of acids and bases experimentally. They answer the question, "How can pH be used to determine possible product tampering?" by testing acids and bases with litmus paper.

In this pH worksheet, students are given information and directions as to how to calculate the pH of solutions. They use their calculators to find the pH of given solutions and apply what they learned about identifying acids and bases.

Students explore ways to use indicators to distinguish between acids and bases. They conduct an experiment to model and discuss the harmful effect of acid rain in our living and non-living environment.

Students 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...
