Tenth graders define pH and use it to interpret amounts of hydrogen ions in a solution.  In this hydrogen lesson students read about acid rain, divide into groups and present their information to the class. 

How does carbon dioxide affect the world's oceans? The final installment in a series of six lessons has pupils research ocean acidification, then conduct an experiment to witness the delicate balance that exists in our seas. Materials...

Students discuss the major changes that have taken place in the Hudson Valley over the past 400 years. They use aerial photos to describe major trends in Dutchess County. Students view a PowerPoint presentation. They work in small groups...

High schoolers discuss what happens to their wastewater. They read about the wastewater treatment process. Students are asked what types of things get flushed down toilets or goes down drains in sinks and showers. They are taught what...

Students investigate the differences in chemistry between an acid and a base substance. They conduct measurements based upon the pH scale and then answer the questions included in the lesson. The information for the lesson is included in...

Students identify the signs that a chemical reaction took place. In this chemistry lesson, students role play the movement of different molecules of matter. They classify matter according to their properties.

Students examine the pH scale. They research common products and determine their pH level. They create their own pH scale and place their products in the appropriate place.

Young scholars define what a redox reaction is. In this chemistry instructional activity, students electroplate some wires in the lab. They research the application of electroplating in the real world.
