Students investigate unsaturated, saturated and supersaturated solutions. In this solutions lesson plan, students experiment with sodium acetate and produce three different types of solutions including a saturated solution of sodium...

Students determine the concentration of acetic acid when the concentration of the base with which is titrated is known. They investigate how to weigh a sample using the balance, measure volumes using graduated cylinder, explore the...

All sodium carbonate may not have the same amount of carbonate, but it should have the same percent. Learners write and balance an equation to predict the chemical reaction between sodium carbonate and zinc acetate. Through the lab...

Middle school marine scientists compare the pH change in distilled and saltwater as acetic acid is added one drop at a time. Then they compare the pH change in both when sodium hydroxide is added. This experiment demonstrates the...

One of the most recognizable commercial melodies was written in 1977, and led to gastronomical relief around the world. Scholars use Alka Seltzer tablets to measure reactants and calculate the chemical equation for the reaction of NaHCO3...

How exciting would it be for your chemistry class to produce their own "gold"? This experiment allows pupils to witness the chemical reaction of copper pennies as they react with zinc and sodium hydroxide to produce "gold" tokens. It is...

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...

In this chemistry instructional activity, students write the balanced equation for the problem at the top of the sheet. Then they determine which reactant is the limiting reactant and which one is in excess. Students also explain the...

High schoolers use short-chain polymers and borate ions to produce cross-linked polymers in the lab. In this cross-linked polymer lesson plan, students produce polyvinyl acetate slime and polyvinyl alcohol slime and test their physical...

In this acids and bases worksheet, students test the pH of different solutions to determine if it is basic or acidic. Students complete 7 short answer questions based on their results.

Students create glue from milk by curdling milk with an acid. In this protein denaturing lesson plan, students experiment with milk and vinegar to denature the proteins in milk, create curds and whey and use the curds to produce glue by...

Eighth graders investigate chemical reactions to produce polymers. For this polymers lesson plan, 8th graders experiment with sodium silicate and ethyl alcohol to make a polymer. They also experiment with borax and glue to make a...

Students investigate the acidity of foods using titration. In this acidity of foods lesson plan, students find the acid concentration of 4 fruit juices by titrating them each with sodium hydroxide and an indicator to find the end point. ...

In this chemistry worksheet, 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 formulas...

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

Crazy fact—freezing liquid actually gives off heat! Young scholars investigate the transfer of energy when liquids freeze using a chemical heat pack. The heat pack gives off heat as its liquid core freezes.

There are two sheets here, with 100 problems total. The first half is a list of compounds, and your young chemists should write the chemical formula for each.  The next fifty give the formula and the name is required.  You...

In this chemistry worksheet, learners take an exam that presents the concept of maintaining the ph balance. This can become a formal assessment.

In this concentration worksheet, students find the percent volume of a compound in a solution and the molality of a solution. They determine the percent mass of a compound in a solution and they determine the mole fraction of water in a...

In this chemical reactions activity, students read about different types of chemical reactions, potential and chemical energy. They answer three questions about their reading.

Practice naming ternary compounds with this PowerPoint presentation. Individual slides show the patterns for memorizing the nomenclature for polyatomic ions. Several examples are included for student practice. This thorough and...
