Curated OER
Study the Fizz
Young scholars hypothesize about the amount of carbon dioxide in soda bottles. In this chemistry lesson, students design an experiment to solve the problem. They share findings in class.
Curated OER
Straw Chromatography
High schoolers separate food coloring using liquid chromatography. In this chemistry lesson plan, students explain the effects of different solvents on the rate of separation.
Curated OER
Properties of Matter (Biomaterial Through Nanotechnology)
Learners investigate friction between different surfaces. In this physics lesson, students research biomaterials that can reduce friction. They calculate efficiency using a mathematical formula.
Aiken County Public Schools
Claymation in the Classroom
Students design an appropriate and usable storyboard and then create a claymation video. They take digital photographs frame by frame, then assemble the stop-motion movie using video software.
Curated OER
Ions in the Environment
Students explain the importance of the five main biogeochemical cycles. In this chemistry instructional activity, students discuss how ions are transported in the environment. They design an experiment to collect data on eutrophication.
Curated OER
Polymerization Experiments
Learners explain the process of polymerization. In this chemistry lesson, students produce carboxylesterase in the lab. They test its effectiveness in removing the by-product odor.
