General chemistry class members engage in a mini-unit on mole conversions. Through nine lab activites with varying degrees of difficulty, they practice measuring mass and volume, molar calculations, and stoichiometry. Terrific...

Did you know light can decrease visibility? Light pollution absolutely makes it more difficult to see stars. Scholars build a simple magnitude reader to determine the magnitude of stars. They use these data to estimate the impact of...

Start stoichiometry scholars off on the path to success with a short video. The narrator of this interesting video guides viewers through the concepts of the mole, molar mass, and Avogadro's number. Additional topics include converting...

Why do leaves change color in the fall? The video explains the relationship between chlorophyll and light, connects the concepts of light to photosynthesis, relates the visible color spectrum to electromagnetic radiation. 

What do scientists do when their observations don't match the theory? An interesting video introduces the ultraviolet catastrophe as part of a larger series covering physics concepts. Starting with ultraviolet light and ending with...

Resource provides notes on Moles and Stoichiometry. Deals with all book-keeping aspects, including as section on yields and limiting reactants. Includes lesson plans, lecture slides and notes, links to related websites, and frequently...

Though UV radiation can damage skin, it isn't all bad. The third installment in a six-part series allows the class to study the structure and function of skin. They learn about the different types of skin cancer and the SPF rating...

How does a neon light work and does it actually contain the gas neon? An enlightening simulation encourages pupils to play with circuits and neon lights. They control the capacitance, resistance, and color of the bulb, and the simulation...

A video lesson describes how light absorbs, reflects, and scatters on different surfaces. Pupils learn the result of these different reactions and how humans perceive them.
