The Marvels of the Molecule
Students experiment with common substances to observe molecular behavior. In this molecular properties lesson, students move through four stations as they try to inflate a balloon inside a bottle, pour water from a jar, and observe how...
Curated OER
Amazing Salt
Students examine the effects of salt on ice. In this salt activity, students observe what happens to the temperature of ice when salt is added, then make ice cream to see how this knowledge can be used.
Curated OER
Non-Compressibility of Water
Students will observe a property of water. In this inquiry-based properties of air lesson, students observe how a change in water pressure impacts the positioning of an eye-dropper in the water container and they make hypotheses about...
