Mole Ratios and Reaction Stoichiometry
Stoichiometry sounds complicated, but it really means the study of the amount of substances involved in a reaction. The sixth lesson in an 11-part series has scholars use stoichiometry to find the theoretical yield of a reaction. Then,...
Curated OER
Types of Chemical Reactions
Students conduct labs to gain an overview of chemical reactions. They observe examples of synthesis, decomposition, single displacement and double displacement reactions. They identify certain products by the use of litmus and splint tests.

Bathtub Physics - Density, Buoyancy and Flotation
Learners study Archimedes' Principle, flotation and the reaction of buoyant forces and explain the relationship between density and flotation.
Curated OER
A Solution for Precipitation
Students predict the product of chemical reaction using the solubility rules. In this chemistry lesson, students balance ionic equation. They perform a lab to check if their predicted products are correct.

Activity #17 Co2 From Alka Seltzer
Students observe what occurs when Alka Seltzer tablets are added to water. They explain why water stays in the jar when it is above the surface of the water. Pupils test for the presence of carbon dioxide by conduting the match test.
Beyond Benign
Packed Up Properties
Determine physical properties of potential packaging materials. Continuing from previous lessons in the series, the resource asks groups to identify physical properties of the substances. They test for conductivity, solubility, water...
