Curated OER
Molar Mass
Students apply the ideal gas law and Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure to develop an experiment which determine the molar mass of butane from disposable lighters. In small groups, they develop a procedure and have it approved before...
Curated OER
Mole Stuff
In this moles worksheet, students practice calculating the number of moles based on grams of a compound. Students use the rate of reaction equation to determine the rates of specific reactions. This worksheet has 10 problems to solve.
Curated OER
What's Matter?
Students explore the definition of matter. In exploring matter lesson students get into groups and navigate the Internet to answer questions.
Curated OER
The Connection Between Pigment and Light Colors
Students explain the mole concept and use this concept to prepare chemical solutions of particular molarities.
Curated OER
EGG-cellent POLYMER PACKAGING DESIGN
Learners investigate the concept of a polymer using an experimental design of protecting an egg in a bookbag. They test the properties of polymers and form an educated solution to the proposed problem. Then they describe the steps used...
Curated OER
An Ad for an Element
Students prepare an ad for an element, including properties and uses, in an attention getting format such as that used in the advertising business.
Curated OER
The Physical Setting
Learners study atoms and their protons and neutrons. For this physical setting lesson students work together to complete a lab activity.
