Hi, what do you want to do?
Curated OER
Antacid Tablet Race
Students complete experiments to determine how rocket fuel is affected by surface area and temperature. They compare the reaction rates of antacid tablets. They discuss their results to complete the lesson.

Questioning NASA
Space science and math collide in this inquiry that investigates launching times for antacid-tablet rockets! Upper elementary or middle school learners collect data as they launch these mini rockets. They apply concepts of place value...
Curated OER
Aqua-Thrusters!
Students construct their own rocket-powered boat called an "aqua-thruster." These aqua-thrusters will be made from a film canister and will use carbon dioxide gas - produced from a chemical reaction between an antacid tablet and water -...
Curated OER
A Plop and Fizz
Seventh graders perform an experiment to determine the effect of temperature on reaction rates. In this chemistry lesson plan, 7th graders take measurements and record data. They create a graph and analyze results.

Keep it Bottled Up: Linear Rates of Pressure Increase
Pupils explore linear functions in this lesson when they collect and analyze data as a chemical reaction proceeds. Learners record pressure versus time data and model the data as a linear function. They also examine the concept of slope...

Texas Instruments: Sour Chemistry: The Exponential P H Change
In this activity, students' will use a pH sensor to record pH versus time data as an antacid tablet neutralizes acid in lemon juice. They will model the pH data with a modified exponential function.
