Students build an understanding of the properties of liquids and research the immiscible properties of different milks through group experiments. In this immiscible liquids experiment, students investigate what happens when certain...

Use class time to perfect your hollandaise sauce with a chemistry instructional activity. It includes two activities to teach about immiscible liquids, emulsifiers, and creating a stable homogenous mixture. Young scientists...

The liquids did not mix — so what do density columns have to do with it? The seventh part in a series of nine provides the theoretical explanation of why density columns do not mix. The lesson plan covers the topics related to...

Students will make a lava lamp. In this density lesson, students will combine water and oil and make observations, then add salt to the oil and observe the oil sink, then float again when the salt dissolves in the water.

Groups suspend objects within layers of liquids to determine the densities of different liquids and compare them to the densities of objects calculated in Part 1. The groups then carefully test their calculations by layering the...

Students examine the rule of "like dissolves like." They define and describe solutions and solubility models on molecular liquids, ionic solids, and molecular solids.

In this chemistry worksheet, students examine a concept in science and then use the knowledge in application by conducting an experiment.

Students find a way to mix oil and water. In this emulsion instructional activity, students attempt to mix oil and water, then add egg yolk to the mixture to serve as an emulsifier and observe the results.

In this chemistry review worksheet, high schoolers answer a variety of questions about matter, elements, the kinetic theory, chemical and physical properties and the distillation process. They complete a concept map about matter.

Although there are only six questions on this chemistry handout, it makes a thorough review of solutions. Novices explain why a compound is not an electrolyte, identify types of compounds, and calculate moles, grams, and molalilties in...

Ready to mix it up? Learners step up to the plate and show what they know in the 12th installment of a 14-part series covering the states of matter. The quiz contains four questions testing the basics of emulsion chemistry.

Students differentiate between high and low viscosity. Students collect, graph, and interpret data, then quantitatively measure polymer solids. Students experiment with a household example of an emulsion polymer.

Radioactive decay, pH, properties of elements, organic compounds, and stoichiometry are all touched upon through this practice chemistry exam. It always helps learners to take a practice test in preparation for the actual exam. This...

Students investigate pollution in water. In this pollution lesson, students participate in an experiment to simulate water pollution. Students observe how the water reacts to the "pollution."

Students experiment with solubility and bonding.

Students investigate soap, how it is made and its structure. In this soap lesson, students observe a demonstration of soap being made. Students observe the properties of soap and how soap performs in "real-life" situations like cutting...

Students create an enclosed ocean in a bottle and add different pollutants to explore the effects of pollution on the environment.

Discussion of miscible (mixable) and immicible (unmixable) liquids.

An investigation into what properties liquids have that enable them to sit in separate layers in a container.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Covers solubility in water and polar molecules.

This colorful demonstration illustrates the rule, "likes dissolve likes," by combining three, immiscible liquids to create a density column." Teacher notes provide background information.

After learners conduct the two associated activities, Density Column Lab - Parts 1 and 2, present this lesson to provide them with an understanding of why the density column's oil, water and syrup layers do not mix and how the concepts...

Concluding a two-part lab activity, students use triple balance beams and graduated cylinders to take measurements and calculate densities of several household liquids and compare them to the densities of irregularly shaped objects (as...

At this site students will discover what happens when oil or liquid detergent are dumped into our earth's water supply.
