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...

Prove the Law of Conservation of Mass through a lab investigation. A well-designed lesson asks groups to combine materials and monitor indicators for chemical reactions. Measuring the mass of the reactants and products allows individuals...

Students complete a lab to help develop a comprehension of stiochiometry. They review equation writing, equation balancing, and stiochiometry. Studnets are given the following information: Sloppy students from the previous class have...

Can you go ice fishing in the ocean? Learners examine the freezing point of different saltwater solutions. Each solution has a different concentration of salt. By comparing the freezing points graphically, they make conclusions...

Fourth graders determine the amount of energy required to melt ice using a calorimeter. They calculate the Molar Heat of Fusion of Ice.

Students conduct an experiment in which they react sodium bicarbonate with hydrochloric acid to determine the molar ration between the two reactants. Students must write correct formula and a balanced chemical equation and explain how...

Students investigate how to determine the percent composition of a mineral in an ore. In this mining an ore lesson plan, students use chocolate chips cookies to represent an ore and they remove precious minerals (the chocolate chips)...

Students develop an understanding of the mole and molar masses of elements. In this mole lesson plan, students use beans to find their relative masses and draw parallels to the atomic masses of elements. Students work in teams and each...

Students review key words used in stoichiometry such as mole, molar mass, Avogadro's number, and mass - mole relationships. They participate in a series of small experiments to explore solving stoichiometry problems in the laboratory.

Students define what a redox reaction is. For this chemistry lesson, students electroplate some wires in the lab. They research the application of electroplating in the real world.

Young scholars study Avogadro's law and what it means in science.  In this gaseous instructional activity students complete an Avogadro's law experiment.   

Students conduct a series of experiments to explore Graham's law. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate effusion and diffusion. They perform calculations using Boyle's, Henry's, Charles' and Graham's Laws.

Students investigate how varying the concentrations, volumes, and other factors affects reaction rates. Students design and conduct investigations to obtain data used to create graphs of an uncatalyzed reaction vs. a catalyzed reaction....

Eleventh graders use titration methods to study properties of antacids. They look at the strength, effectiveness, PH, and effect of supplements taken at the same time. They make observations after the different mixtures are combined and...

Students examine how to prepare an experimental procedure.  In this scientific method lesson students conduct an investigation on phosphate.
