Chemical Composition of Everyday Objects
Learners relate chemistry to an object they use everyday. They research information related to chemistry and create their own webpage. They are to keep their page up to date as new observations are taken.
Curated OER
The Causes of Differences in Density
Students discuss the each of the following objects/substances in terms of what contributes to their density: 1) a piece of copper; 2) a piece of bread; 3) steam in the air. They evaluate the causes in the various densities of substances.
