Students look into the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In this chemistry lesson, students look at the hydrocarbon molecule through a model and see what happens when energy is released. They watch as the water vapor leaves...

Students work together to observe the bond lengths of single, double and triple bonds. They make their own predictions about the strength of the bonds and chemical reactions. They answer discussion questions to complete the...

As the title suggests, this is a simple summary of fossil fuels. There are no questions or problems to solve or no notes about fossil fuels. The notes cover how fossil fuels are formed, how we extract them, what humans use them for, and...

In this molecular model worksheet, students use a molecular model kit to construct 13 different molecule models. After constructing the molecules, the students complete 32 short answer questions.

In this combustion worksheet, students are given directions as to how to analyze a combustion reaction and they then solve five problems using this process.

Students determine crude oil can be separated into useful fractions by a process of fractional distillation. They write a balanced equation for the reaction between a hydrocarbon and oxygen.

Learners quantify the relationship between moles and mass. They comprehend that ammonium nitrate is used as a fertilizer and an explosive. Students study the chemistry of ammonium nitrate and consider the advantages and disadvantages of...

Young scholars research chemical formulas and balance chemical equations.  In this chemical equations lesson students complete a class activity on chemical equations and answer questions.

Tenth graders evaluate the physical mechanisms that cause a change in NOx emissions. In this combustion lesson, 10th graders participate in a research project. Students create a presentation of their findings. 

Ninth graders generate and analyze data to determine which and how much of two polymers best absorb oils, formulate procedure to accurately determine how many times its own weight particular polymer can absorb, and develop understanding...

Young scholars collect and analyze real time data. They make comparisons and determinations about the status of ozone in their local area and predict the Ozone level for the next day

Students explore energy by researching fuel usage on Earth. In this fossil fuel lesson, students define fossil fuels, the energy created by burning them, and the impact on the environment when using them. Students conduct pollution...

Students examine the issues surrounding air pollution. They discover how it affects peoples health and the government's regulations. They complete a word search activity to practice the vocabulary.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition and examples of a combustion reaction.

In this activity, students use pipe cleaners and foam balls to build a model of a hydrocarbon molecule. They then modify it to demonstrate the chemical reaction that happens when the hydrocarbon is burned.
