Determination of Phosphates
Young scholars engage in a laboratory lesson in order to increase understanding of the impact of phosphates at the chemical and ecological levels. The lab exercise is completed with the goal of getting them to predict the outcomes and...
Curated OER
Beat the Greeks
Learners conduct research of the history of atomic theory. Information is presented from Democritus and Aristotle to the early Renaissance using the Internet and video.The integration of technology allows for a vast amount of research...
Curated OER
MTV no PTV
Students study the gas laws in particular the three variables; pressure, temperature and volume. In this gas laws lesson plan students complete an activity and discuss their findings.
Curated OER
Microscopes and Crystals
Students observe crystals under the microscope. In this science lesson, students compare how the crystal look like using their eyes, hand lens and microscope. They identify the type of crystal based on the amount of light they allow to...
Curated OER
Chemical Reactions
Learners work in groups to define chemistry vocabulary including the terms reactants, products, exothermic and endothermic. They then combine the group definitions to arrive at a consensus definition for the class. Students also listen...
Curated OER
Chemical Disasters
Students discuss the importance of safety in the science lab and also in industry. They also will understand some of the implications of chemistry in the world using links provided.
Curated OER
Transverse Wave Demonstrator
Students discover the properties of waves in Chemistry and Physics. In groups, they develop and build their own device to demonstrate transverse waves. They complete their tests, record the results and discuss the conclusions with the...
Curated OER
The Physical Setting
Ninth graders study the configuration of atoms in molecules to see that it determines the molecule's properties. In this chemistry lesson plan students divide into groups and complete their assigned task.
Curated OER
Charles’s Law
High schoolers describe the relationship between temperature and volume. In this chemistry lesson, students perform an experiment and record their their results. They use Charles' law to explain their observations.
Curated OER
Water Testing
Students work together to design their own experiment to test developed hypothesis about the minerals in water. As a class, they discuss the main components of water quality and describe the chemistry behind the hardness assay. They...
