For this chemical reactions worksheet, students give the IUPAC name for compounds, predict the products of reactions, and list the steps in the synthesis of certain compounds. This worksheet has 1 short answer and 11 fill in the blank...

Pupils discover the roles of pigments present in leaves. They extract and isolate pigments present in autumn leaves using a thin layer chromatography. Very nice instructional activity and lab!

In this chemical compounds activity, students match the chemical formula with its chemical structure. This activity has 39 matching questions.

Students explore how F. Scott Fitzgerald was one of the most important writers of the twentieth century. In novels such as Tender is the Night, This Side of Paradise, and The Great Gatsby, he captured the mood and manners of his time.

Learners read and analyze Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, "Haunted Houses." They define key vocabulary terms, discuss the poem's technical aspects, and create an original poem about a haunted house or a haunted place.

Students conduct a lab to determine the best way to separate a variety of mixtures choosing between paper, thin layer and column chromatography. They use chromatography techniques to identify unknown substances and submit a lab report on...

Students look at the varied ways the human body is portrayed in contemporary media. They discuss what a character is and how it plays a role in telling stories. Students look at examples of objects like dolls, puppets and toys that...

In this chemistry conversion learning exercise, learners convert to moles, grams, and atoms as they respond to 5 short answer questions.

Students examine 21st century learning tools. In this digital tools lesson, students discover what the Internet is and explore the success of Google and MySpace. Students discuss what they think could be the next big digital tool.

For this alternative energy worksheet, 6th graders read and study the varying types of fuel.  Students read examples and ways that alternative fuel can be used.

Students study the development of batteries. In this electrochemistry lesson, students compare the different types of batteries. They explore its applications especially in the medical field.

Students initially engage in online research and consult print materials to identify a compound to produce. Once a selection has been made, individually, students conduct lab experiments to isolate substances. The end product is a...

Students experiment with Drosophila to determine if density of female flies, food sources, temperature and light affect the population dynamics of growth. Students graph their data and compare their results to the number of human...

Students investigate wild-type and several mutant varieties of Drosophila melanogaster, which are characterized and distinguished according to pteridine pigments. They discoverthat paper chromatography of the wild-type Drosophila...

Students investigate population dynamics such as variation in density of females, composition of food sources an environmental factors such as light and temperature on Drosophila. They then relate their findings to human populations and...
