Fifth graders evaluate the physical properties of 5 powders. Each powder is subject to different conditions. They describe each observation as with a chemical change or a physical change.

Students examine the techniques that may be used to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.  In this pollution lesson students simulate oceanic sequestration using chemistry.

Students investigate the hardness of different water samples using the conductivity meter. In this chemistry lesson, students build their own meter following specific procedures. They identify an unknown sample of water.

At some point, all science learners experiment with pH. In this brief lesson plan, they simply use pH strips or a meter to find the pH of six different solutions. A useful worksheet that displays a data chart is included for your students.

Young scholars observe an experiment using common household chemicals to simulate a volcanic eruption. In small cups, they follow the teacher's instructions to make their own volcanoes. After watching a Brain-pop video, students complete...

Students observe one of the direct effects of acid water on plant growth. Students engage in an experiment which will take about 2 weeks. Students will understand the effect that acid rain has on plant growth.

In this chemistry quiz worksheet, students complete a set of 10 multiple choice questions covering a variety of chemistry concepts.

Students explore the formation of volcanoes. In this earth science lesson, students build their own volcanoes in the lab using different materials. They identify the different types of volcanoes.

Learners observe the pH change of an acid mixture poured over soil in a filter. Since the buffering capability of soils differs, you may want to do this experiment with several different soil types.

Students perform an experiment that demonstrates acid rain. The chemical effect of acids on metals may take at least five days for the human eye to see, even though the reaction starts as soon as the acid contacts the metal.

Students classify liquids as an acid, base or neutral. They use purple cabbage juice as an indicator to test several liquids in order to group them as acids, bases or neutrals.

Students conduct an experiment called "What's the Solution? Acid, Base or Neutral." to determine the differences between these types of substance.

Learners observe the layering process of lava flow with hands-on activities.

Students, in groups, select two cleaning agents that they feel solves their cleaning problem.

Students participate in an artificial dig investigating imitiation rock samples that contain "pollen" from ancient plants. Students determine which plants the pollen samples came from.

Middle schoolers conduct a simple conductivity meter to test the ionic or non-ionic nature of water samples including one from their home.

High schoolers explore geologic sequestration as a technique used to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. They use chemistry to stimulate oil mining. Students conduct an experiment to learn about geo carbon sequestration.

The objective of this science fair project is to determine the correct ratio of baking soda to vinegar that will result in the highest launch of a plastic film canister. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning...

ZOOM cast members mix different amounts of baking soda and vinegar to see which combination produces the most carbon dioxide for launching a film-canister rocket. [3:23]

In this combined Chemistry and Physics lab, students investigate how to create pipette torpedoes that will be propelled using the chemical reaction of baking soda and vinegar.

This site is designed to be a supplement for students of organic chemistry. Its tutorials and self-grading tests are interactive and extremely helpful.

Follow these simple, step-by-step instructions to create and observe the results of the chemical reaction between vinegar and baking soda.
