Hazardous Waste Awareness

In this chemistry instructional activity, students identify 3 different chemical compounds, 3 identify biochemical products, 4 identify terms, and 2 identify atomic symbols.

Investigate the Law of Conservation of Mass through a lab exploration. Individuals combine materials to initiate chemical reactions. They monitor for signs of reactions and measure the masses before and after the reactions for comparison.

Are atoms too small to be isolated? Answer this question and more as you provide young chemists with the tools to conduct a hands-on activity demonstrating atomic mass. Pupils explore the mass of copper and aluminum, compare Dalton's...
