Two versions of this handout are provided, the second with more detailed information on the same topics. Chemistry aces survey chemical reactions, heat energy transferred, and the action of enzymes by reading this resource. You can...

One of the biggest challenges for beginning scientists is figuring out the names of the equipment! Introduce your chemistry class to essential lab apparatuses using a series of related games. Pupils pair images of a test tube, funnel,...

In this chemistry worksheet, students use their workbook to answer short answer questions about chemistry and lab safety. Students complete 7 questions total to get their merit badge.

Ready to heat things up in the lab, but your class doesn't know its way around a Bunsen burner? Scholars get familiar with heating apparatuses through a series of puzzles designed to promote vocabulary and reasoning skills. The...

Lab tools are cool! But, which one is the right tool for the job? Young scientists participate in a series of puzzles focused around some common lab equipment. Each puzzle requires learners to associate the tool with its image and a...

In this chemistry Olympiad lab worksheet, high schoolers are given two lab problems to design experiments. Topics include determining the mass percentage of a given compound and determining an unknown metal using quantitative and...

Two laboratory problems are put forth for chemistry students. They are to plan and carry out an experiment that will answer each of the questions. The first asks them to investigate a relationship between the surface area of a potato and...

Here is a comprehensive method for assessing chemistry learners' knowledge; have them approach two laboratory problems, plan their methods of solving each, and then actually carry out the experiments to find the answers. Both the...

In this chemistry Olympiad worksheet, pupils are given 2 lab problems to work on. They must explain their experiment they would carry out, show their data and write their results and conclusions of the lab and the process.

For this hazard symbols worksheet, students are given six symbols commonly used in the lab to indicate hazardous materials, agents, and situations. Students look for each symbol around the classroom, on worksheets, and in textbooks.

Starting in 2015, all chemicals must have a pictogram of the associated chemical hazards. A brain-building activity reviews four of the basic symbols found in a typical science laboratory. Through a fun puzzle, scholars apply their...

Glassware everywhere! How do you help scholars learn to identify the different types of laboratory glassware? Introduce them to some of the main tools of the trade through interactive puzzles. Users match and manipulate items based on...

Step-by-step laboratory instructions are listed so that chemistry explorers can consider the solubility of potassium nitrate. They combined their results with other lab groups' results and then graphed the data to display the solubility...

In this lab report worksheet, students answer ten questions by filling in a blank with the appropriate letter that corresponds to the part of the lab. Students determine where data goes, where observations go, where answers to discussion...

Merge chemistry with environmental science to study biodegradable materials. An engaging activity allows learners to experiment with different resin concentrations and composites. Through experimental tests, scholars test their creations...

Many scientists attempted alchemy for hundreds of years before a full understanding of metals became clear. Scholars take a penny and, through two different chemical reactions, make it appear to turn into silver and later gold. They...

Only 10 percent of an incandescent bulb's energy is used to create light; the remaining 90 percent is heat. In the unit of activities, young chemists examine energy through hands-on activities, videos, discussions, and...

Make the strongest beam possible using taffy? Groups mold a taffy-water mixture into a beam and a reinforcing material of their choice. To finish the final installment of a two-part series, participants test its strength by adding...

In this chemical equations instructional activity, learners write and balance chemical reactions. They complete 98 short answer and problem solving questions on molarity and chemical equations.

It's the moment of truth. Previous lessons in the 24-part series had scholars design and develop shampoo formulas using chemical concepts. The 18th lesson asks them to test the function of their shampoos. To do this, they calculate the...

Tons of science safety rules and information are available here, arranged by category. Resources are available for students and teachers on maintaining safety during labs and other activities.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore and review safe practices during laboratory and field investigation in science.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In the following online tutorial students will explore safety practices and rules and symbols associated with them. They will define components of the NFPA Label and...

This online course guides students through the scientific method with an emphasis on analyzing data and graphical analysis as a foundation to a chemistry course.
