Chemistry and earth science meet in a lesson on carbon dioxide emissions. After reading about atmospheric problems caused by using fossil fuels, science stars balance equations for the burning of different alkanes. They compute the...

Students calculate stoichiometrically the amount of carbon dioxide that would be emitted from burning a mole of varios alkanes that comprise fossile fuels. If the energy released from burning a mole of these alkanes is known, then the...

In this hydrocarbon worksheet, high schoolers answer 13 questions about different types of organic molecules categorized as hydrocarbons. They explain the different hydrocarbons, they draw structural diagrams for different hydrocarbons...

What a clever idea! Chemistry learners imagine themselves deserted on an island with a radio, but no batteries. They also have a few odds and ends in their pockets and storage chest. They are challenged to create a battery that will...

Young scholars experiment with plastics.  In this what is plastic lesson, students make a simple polymer and discuss recycling.  Young scholars identify various types of plastics. 

Young scholars work together to observe the bond lengths of single, double and triple bonds. They make their own predictions about the strength of the bonds and chemical reactions. They answer discussion questions to complete the lesson.

In this organic chemistry reactions worksheet, students are given a table with 8 different types of reactions that occur with organic molecules. Students answer 3 questions about the reactions given in the table and indicate which...
