Look beyond the light! An engaging activity introduces young scholars to the application of a spectroscope. The lesson is the fifth in a series of six and focuses on the analysis of the elements of the sun.

In this gas worksheet, students practice using the gas laws to calculate volume, pressure, or temperature of gases in 12 different word problems.

In this gas law worksheet, students practice applying the gas laws by completing 4 word problems focused on volume, pressure, and temperature.

You know that liquid nitrogen turns into a gas at room temperature. Place some in a two-liter bottle for a physics demonstration of the ideal gas law. Beware, however; this is a dangerous demonstration! Not to mention that you may not...

In this gas law worksheet, students use the Universal Gas Law and van der Waals equation to calculate volume and molar mass of gases. This worksheet has 6 problems to solve.

For this gas law worksheet, students review the Idea Gas Law equation and practice applying the equation to chemical reactions. Students write the balanced reaction, determine the limiting reagent, moles produced, and volume of gas...

National Chemistry Olympiad tests are released after their use each year, since they cannot use them again for this event. The result: outstanding comprehensive assessment resources for general chemistry classes! This 2005 version covers...

Using gears as a visual metaphor, this political cartoon analysis activity gives a clear picture of one artist's perspective on the U.S. economy. Background information helps give pupils access to the cartoon's context, and 3 talking...

For this matter worksheet, learners review the states of matter and the gas law formulas and equations. Students then complete 7 multiple choice questions and 6 problems.

How many calculations can you think of that include moles? Chances are, plenty! Show young chemists the uses of the multifaceted mole with thought-provoking puzzles. Individuals identify and associate the outcomes of molar quantities...

Almost every teen wants a car, but can they really afford one? The lesson walks pupils through how to identify a budget, find all of the costs associated with car ownership, and determine if they should buy the car or keep looking.

Students discuss acceleration and deceleration and participate in brief demonstrations of the Second Law of Motion. They apply the law to a metal balance toy and a plastic balance toy by applying the same force then with different forces.

In this ideal gas law activity, students watch a demonstration using liquid nitrogen, a plastic 2 liter bottle and a garbage can of water that excites students to use the ideal gas law to solve problems. Students analyze the results of...

When a child lets go of a helium balloon, what happens to it? Does it float all the way to space? The simulator allows pupils to experiment on party balloons and weather balloons under different conditions to see what happens to them in...

Building off young chemists' knowledge of the states of matter, kinetic molecular theory is the focus of the unit. Eight days of lessons including multiple demonstrations, one lab experiment, directed instruction, and worksheets,...

For this gas laws review worksheet, students solve pressure, temperature and moles of gases to answer 50 multiple choice questions.

A 30-question multiple choice chemistry test challenges takers. Topics touched upon include thermochemistry, equilibrium, behavior of gases, and pH. Problem solving is required in order to answer most of the questions. Other questions...

In this physical science exploration, small groups place a piece of antacid tablet into a film canister and step back to time how long it takes for the top to pop. They repeat the activity, altering either the amount or temperature of...

Check out the handout from a presentation that contains a collection of high school algebra projects connecting a variety of mathematics to the real world. Activities range from simple probabilities to calculus. The activities...

Are you feeling the pressure? Let loose a little with a kinesthetic activity that models molecular motion in a closed space! The activity varies conditions such as volume and temperature and examines the effects on molecules.

Do your high school scientists know the four methods scientists use to communicate information? A simple experiment discovering the relationship between gas pressure and volume allows pupils to practice all four. After completing the...

Learners follow along as the teacher reads Products of Mining in Canada: From Batteries to Vehicles aloud. They then discuss the meaning of key terms and determine the gist of the text. Pupils do a second read and complete a graphic...

Pairs simulate the energy usage of different countries by drawing beads from a bag, which contain different beginning ratios of non-renewable and renewable energy resources. The activity concludes with a series of questions to tie...
