Redox Equations and the Half-Reaction Method

Explain the importance of radioactive half-life as your high school biologists demonstrate the concept by performing a series of steps designed to simulate radioactive decay. Pupils use pennies to perform an experiment and gather data....

By completing this thorough set of practice exercises, your chemistry stars will shine! They will demonstrate their handling of kinetics problems: order of reactants, rate constants, rate law, and half-life. You will definitely want to...

What is half-life and how can decay be used to date items? Viewers find out in this video that details half-life and radioactive decay, as well as the difference between alpha and beta decay.

The breakdown of your breakfast and plants photosynthesizing all relate to the simple movement of electrons. Learn about the complex manner of redox reactions, where electrons move from one compound to another, changing and propelling...

Does a radioactive cat have 18 half-lives? An understanding of half-life is important in both chemistry and biology, so start your young scientists off the right way — with the good foundation provided by a video that begins with a graph...

Students generate a radioactive decay table for an imaginary element using a box filled with pinto beans and M&M's. They use their data to plot a decay graph, develop the concept of half-life, and use the graph to "age" several samples.

A activity prompts scholars to use candy to figure half-life. Combining class data allows them to find the graph of best fit and to determine if it should be linear or exponential. 

High schoolers explore decay functions and the half-life of a substance. Through an M&M activity with calculators, students collect and graph data. They determine the linear, quadratic and exponential functions of the graph. High...

Scholars shake their way to understanding half-life with the help of candy. They observe and record which side candy lands on to graph the exponential decay in the fifth lesson of seven integrating chemistry and algebra. Combining...

There are no tricks here! Young scholars learn about the concept of centripetal acceleration by studying the design of the snowboarding half pipe. A video lesson describes how the half pipe design affects the motion of the boarders.
