Curated OER
I Need Room to Breathe
Seventh graders explore how exercise affects carbon dioxide levels in exhaled air.
Curated OER
Infectious Disease Case Study Part I
Eleventh graders work together to complete a simulation on infectious diseases. They determine which concepts affect a disease more. They complete discussion questions as well.
Curated OER
Mixtures
Sixth graders experiment with mixtures. In this chemistry lesson, 6th graders determine which mixtures are considered heterogeneous, a suspension, a solution or a colloid. Students create a data sheet of what they discover.
Curated OER
Separating a Starch-Glucose Mixture Using Gel Filtration
Pupils experiment using the basic principles of gel filtration. They use the gel filtration technique for testing for the presence of specific substances. Students discover that starch is a larger molecule than glucose.
