Students explore acids, bases, and indicators. They observe the various colors of an acid-base indicator solution and the neutralization of an acidic solution by an antacid.

In this health learning exercise, students identify various infectious diseases and explore the available options for stopping or preventing the spread of disease. They participate in a simulation experiment on how to measure and...

In this volumetric analysis learning exercise, students use a standard solution they made of sodium carbonate to find the concentration of a hydrochloric acid solution by titration. Kids calculate the number of moles of sodium carbonate...

Young scholars test different water solutions for the presence of ions. In this water testing lesson plan, students test for iron, calcium, chloride and sulfate ions in solutions. They indicate positive tests based on their results and...

Students conduct experiments on a sample of sea water. In this oceanography lesson, students inquire how conductivity is used to approximate the salinity ocean water. Students construct their own conductivity meters and test...

Although it contains some formatting issues, the Word document here contains good questions about osmosis and diffusion, and is easy to edit as needed. Designed as a study guide, you could use the information here for warmups, ideas for...

Using cabbage juice as a pH indicator, future scientists explore the effect of increasing carbon dioxide on the pH of the ocean and relate it to the health of coral reefs. Ideal for an earth or environmental sciences course, this lesson...

In a hypothetical scenario, food chemists use titration to concoct a brine solution for producing the crunchiest pickles. They also analyze store-bought pickle juices. In addition to reinforcing titration techniques, the lesson requires...

In this synthesis of organic compounds worksheet, students show the steps used to make compounds using toluene, benzene, straight chain carboxylic acid and alkyl halide. They include reagents needed and they show all structures in their...

Two pages take chemistry learners on a survey of acids and bases. High schoolers write formulas and name compounds. They identify conjugate bases and acids with the aid of a table (not provided). On the second page, two different acids...

Students investigate the factors which affect corrosion. In this corrosion lesson plan, students experiment with 2 nails, copper wire and magnesium ribbon placed in a petri dish of agar solution, potassium ferricyanate and an indicator....

Students discuss the atmosphere as a mixture of gases. In this science lesson, students explore the world's oceans and fresh waters understanding that there are dissolved chemicals. Students realize that many substances dispersed in air...

Chemistry pros calculate mass, volume, concentration, or molarity of five different solutions. This tidy instructional activity makes an appropriate homework assignment when studying molarity.

Examine the structures of the kidney and then define the functions of the specialised structures.  Every will find this powerpoint engaging, many of the images will present facts such as osmolarity of interstitial fluid and the...

In this chemistry worksheet, students examine the concepts of mole and molarity in order to apply in the laboratory setting. The sheet includes in depth background information.

The first two pages provide a chart to complete with results of a lab test using different solutions and indicators. The data analysis questions will help your students understand the concentrations of the solutions and how they affect...

In this acids and bases worksheet, students determine the pH and pOH for a given solution. Students determine the conjugate acids for the given species. Students calculate which solution will have a higher pH. This worksheet has 16...

You won't get a stomachache doing an investigative experiment. Pupils simulate the effect of antacids on stomach acid. Obviously, they won't be using real stomach acid; diluted hydrochloric acid serves this purpose.

You may want to change the title of this chemistry PowerPoint to "Identifying Compounds in the Laboratory." Individual slides explain tests that can be performed to confirm what element you have: carbon dioxide, carbonates, and metal...

An overview of acid and base compounds and their reactions is presented with this handout. Pupils name compounds and write chemical formulas. They write net ionic equations and explain how acidic solutions might conduct electricity. This...

Simulated acid rain, a dilute sulfuric acid solution, needs to be prepared for this demonstration. After a condensed lecture on acid rain, you will apply the solution to a sample of granite and a sample of limestone. Your young...

This presentation begins with the many problems multicellular organisms which rely on diffusion encounter. There are many diagrams of mammalian organ structures, and they are labelled with their relevant functions. This an excellent...

Students are introduced to colorimeter on two levels. They investigate how to physically manipulate the colorimeters. Secondly, the students start on a pathway of discovery to one of the most important principles in analytical chemistry:...

In this chemistry worksheet, students determine the order of reactivity toward displacement in each of the series listed. Then they respond to several multiple choice questions as they relate to compounds and solutions. Students also...
