Contemplate the causes of corrosion. An interesting lesson has learners first conduct an experiment where they place nails in different types of water. Based on the results, they consider how corrosion occurs and how engineers need to...

Use whatever material floats your boat. Working in groups, scholars decide on a type of metal and a type of coating to use for building a boat. They test their creations by leaving their boats in a pool of water for several days before...

Students observe the rusting process in the lab. In this chemistry lesson, students rank metals according to their conductivity. They give real world applications of this activity.

In this chemistry learning exercise, students balance each of the reactions presented using the periodic table to help. Then they predict the products of the reactions and write the net ionic equation. Students also write the empirical...

Starting with definitions and terms related to how electricity flows, these slides assist in understanding of displacement reactions. Some typical displacement reactions that occur with a flow of electricity through a solution are...

In this activity series worksheet, learners read about single replacement reactions and are given a table with the activity series of metals and nonmetals. Students use the activity series to predict if reactions will occur and they...

Students apply the principles of chemistry to investigate the concept of how a hydrogen powered car works. They study the electrochemical reactions that provide the energy source. Students also record observations in the functioning of a...

For this titration learning exercise, students determine the number of moles of an ion present in given solutions. Students calculate the relative formula mass and the concentrations of ions for solutions. This learning exercise has...

In an electrolytic cell, electrical energy is converted into chemical energy, the exact opposite of a battery! Lesson 15 in a series of 36 explores electrochemistry. Participants begin by reading and discussing oxidation/reduction...

In this battery worksheet, students read about oxidation-reduction reactions and voltaic cells. They are given a diagram of an electrochemical cell and they answer four questions using the cell. They also identify the anode given two...

In this redox activity, learners answer 8 questions. They use a diagram of a Galvanic cell to answer questions as well as write balanced equations and solve problems.

Students investigate oxidation and reduction reactions. In this oxidation and reduction lesson plan, students construct an electroplating device and perform an oxidation/ reduction reaction. Students describe the chemical changes that...

In this chemistry worksheet, young scholars examine oxidation reduction in order to apply it in the laboratory setting. The sheet includes in depth background information.

For this electrochemistry worksheet, students apply their knowledge as it relates to electrochemistry and voltaic cells. Students write the half-reaction for the anode and cathode. Students calculate the cell potential.

Students weigh out the proper amount of silver nitrate and prepare the silver nitrate solution. They observe what occurs when pure copper is added to silver nitrate solution. Pupils determine whether the change in the appearance of...

In this chemistry worksheet, students examine the given concept in order to apply in the laboratory setting. The sheet includes in depth background information.

A complete overview of oxidation, reduction, and how electrons are moved in respiration. You could use this slide show to elaborate on the concept of harvesting stored energy, and to summarize the stages of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism.

In this chemistry worksheet, students examine the concept of solubility of silver chloride. The sheet has in depth concept and laboratory instructions.

Students are often confused by the huge amount of information and detail that can be learned about respiration.  This is a great presentation summarizing the main 4 stages of cellular respiration. It is clear and uses diagrams and...

Not a lesson in the traditional sense, this is a collection of resources with which you can craft a lesson on metabolic processes. It includes an outline of topics, some brief discussion, and a large array of animations, images, and...

High schoolers discover the relationship between tectonic plate boundaries and the communities of life that thrive at such boundaries. In this biology lesson, students find that methane from oxidized carbon in sediments provides...

Students conduct an oxidation experiment in which they must determine how much hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is actually in a store-bought solution of H2O2.

Students explore what problems might occur if oxygen decreases in a body of water. They model what happens in a situation where decomposition is occurring. Students obtain, organize, graph, and interpret information. They i interpret...

Students examine the following concepts: If water supplies contain materials which rot or decompose, oxygen is used. Decay and decomposition require vast supplies of oxygen. The use of oxygen for decay of wastes may be a life or death...
