Students conduct an experiment in which a solution of copper(II) sulfate is added to iron filings. They write and balance the equation for the reaction that occurs and calculate the amount of iron that reacted and the percent yield of...

Tenth graders are provided with a piece of paper such as index, art, construction, or computer coating it with a universal indicator. They use cotton swabs HCl and NaOH to draw a picture repeating the same process using lemon juice and...

Students explore the importance of water. They discuss why water is important and students design an experiment that evaluates the water quality and methods of improving water quality. Students perform testing and report their findings.

Students determine the concentration of acetic acid when the concentration of the base with which is titrated is known. They investigate how to weigh a sample using the balance, measure volumes using graduated cylinder, explore the...

Students examine determine the symbiotic relationship between plants and animals as the find ways to naturally reduce carbon dioxide emissions. They study the carbon cycle. They work with probe and graphing calculator to examine the...

Pupils collect chemical, physical, and biological data from a local lake throughout the year. In addition, students discuss the design of an experimental structure for water collection at several specific depths as well as assess the...

Students discuss what the m in E=mc2 represent. They relate that mass in a chemical reaction is always conserved. Students convey that atoms rearrange themselves in chemical reactions to form different molecules and compounds.

Fourth graders include a brochure in a blog entry. In this blogging lesson, 4th graders design a brochure about a tourist attraction. They include the brochure in a blog and share it with the class.

Young scholars explore the concept of chemical formulas.  In this chemical formula lesson, students watch a video about balancing chemical equations.  Young scholars conduct an experiment using silver nitrate and sodium...

A four-step tutorial shows students how to use a pipet in general chemistry lab to make "precise and accurate" volume measurements. View the full-length lesson via streaming video [9:46] or in segments.

Many (if not most) experiments in the chemistry lab do not get significant results - or the expected results. In this Chemistry Now original video series, we highlight the curiosity, daring, and creativity of the best bench chemists by...

A collection of grid puzzles that cover topics in basic chemistry, including acids, salts, alkalis, chemistry lab equipment, the periodic table, states of matter, and more. These are excellent for topic review and reinforcement. The...

A chance to complete an experiment with students around the world! This experiment requires students to test how much vitamin C is in certain foods. Once students receive their results, they post their findings to the page to compare to...

College-level online course focusing on kitchen chemistry. Course explores the application of chemistry in recipes and cooking. Course features include links to readings, lecture notes, and a wealth of related links.

A narrow list of questions about technicalities with chemistry labs. Find out the how to properly clean glassware and why acid should always be added to water in that order.

In this experiment, you will concentrate on understanding the chemistry of ion exchange and estimate the capacity of an ion exchange column from your observations.

This lab further analyzes the results of the experiments carried out in Chemical Kinetics 1. In addition, you will carry out experiments to determine the temperature dependence of the reaction rate constant. Requires Java plug-in.

In the first part of this lab, you will measure the absorption spectra of two conjugated dyes and compare the results to the theoretical predictions of a particle-in-a-box model. In the second part of the experiment, you will identify...

Perform virtual lab experiments safely. Pour and mix specific amounts of various solutions on screen and observe changes in temperature and pH. Choose glassware and other tools (ie. bunsen burner, scale) to assist with virtual lab...
