The properties of water, such as electronegativity, are related to its physical behavior. Water's boiling point, miscibility, and solubility are compared to other substances and related to van der Waal forces.

Chemists consider a situation in which an ethanol producer needs to determine how much to add to t-butanol to prevent freezing during transport. They work in the laboratory to obtain the freezing point depression constant for the...

Your class examines F.D.R.'s speech for examples of repetition, alliteration, emotionally charged words, etc. They listen to the speech and interview a person who heard it delivered. They finish by writing an article about the experience.

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 organic chemistry worksheet, students solve 10 multiple choice problems about organic reactions, they write the molecular structures for the products of 20 reactions, they answer 10 short answer questions about specific groups of...

In this substitution and elimination reactions worksheet, students compete reactions by drawing the structural formulas for 18 reactions. If no reaction occurs, students write N.R.

Episode 10 of a 13-part psychology Crash Course builds on learning from previous videos to explain the workings of altered states of consciousness. Hypnosis, psychoactive drugs, and non-drug induced hallucinations are all explored in a...

Your chemistry class is sure to love this experiment on column chromatography, as demonstrated with chalk sticks and felt tip markers. Pupils use sidewalk chalk (another inexpensive form of chalk stick) to demonstrate adsorption and the...

I smell a great video. Viewers learn how the smell of rain originates from various sources, and how ozone and organic material work to produce the recognizable smell.

Why do dissonant noise cause a physical reaction of fear in humans? The video explains why some things sound scary and how we evolved to be more afraid of sounds than sights. It details how people constantly live in the past and how...

Is there more to evaporation than just less liquid? Show young scientists the energy transformation that occurs during a phase change through a series of simple experiments. Lab partners place drops of water, ethanol, and ethoxyethane on...

Just because we can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there! A growing concern for environmental scientists is toxic nanoparticles in our air and water. Young scholars conduct an experiment to demonstrate how these particles can cross our...

Learn what makes a shark a shark and their classifications in a video presentation. The focus of the presentation is an exploration of the unique species of sharks from different orders.

Delve into the mysterious lines of T.S. Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. Focusing on simple recall of the poem, this quiz can then spark discussion about the odd comparisons and allusions within the lines. A simple quiz that...

Students observe examples of physical changes that can take place between the three states of matter and develop common sense and intuition in distinguishing between chemical and physical changes. They observe diagrams on the board from...

In this naming compounds with functional groups instructional activity, students read about using the IUPAC rules for naming these compounds and they draw structures for 3 -carbon, 2-carbon and 4-carbon molecules and give the names for...

In this intermolecular forces worksheet, students answer 4 questions about the forces between atoms within molecules and compounds. Students rank the boiling points of compounds based on their intermolecular forces and they explain...

Learners explore the technique of chromatography to separate compounds in a mixture. In small groups, they separate by paper chromatography and identify the major and accessory photosynthetic pigments.....................................

In this organic chemistry worksheet, students solve 20 problems including isomer structure, functional groups, types of reactions and the polymers that make up the structures of organic molecules.

In this organic molecules instructional activity, students classify organic compounds, they name organic compounds using the IUPAC naming system, they complete chemical reactions of organic compounds, and they draw structural formulas of...

In this intermolecular force worksheet, students identify the molecules with the strongest intermolecular forces and explain how they determined this. They also predict boiling points and vapor pressure based on intermolecular forces of...

High schoolers perform paper chromatography to determine pigments in plants. In this paper chromatography lesson plan, students isolate leaf pigments, prepare a chromatogram and place their chromatogram in a solvent to separate the...

High schoolers use chromatography to separate substances in Kool-Aid, Crayola markers and leaves. In this chromatography lesson plan, students make chromatograms to separate substances in a mixture through absorption. High schoolers find...

In this organic chemistry review worksheet, students answer 10 questions about different organic molecules. They draw structures, they name structures, they draw polymers, they identify the type of isomer given molecules are and they...
