Modeling the Process of Mining Silicon Through a Single Displacement/Redox Reaction

In this types of stars worksheet, students complete a table with the color and star type for 17 stars. They are given their luminosity and surface temperature along with a chart that has characteristics of stars to use as reference.

If you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the precipitate! Young chemists learn about single and double displacement reactions including precipitation reactions, neutralization reactions, and gas forming reactions. They perform...

Students define the properties of minerals and their uses in their world. In this multi-instructional activity unit, students contribute actively to discussions of mineral mining, mining methods and mine safety. A role play...

Students will participate in a laboratory investigation that models the production of silicon. The activity investigates the sources, uses, properties, and importance in the fields of photovoltaics (solar cells/renewable energy) of silicon.

Learners examines the arctic food web with a short video about polar bears and an article about bears and warming temperatures. They design an arctic food web and discuss the trophic cascade that could come from climate...

Explore the connection of surface area to bonding within atoms. Learners complete lab investigations to model changing surface area with different sizes and concentrations of atoms. A flour fireball demonstration follows the labs to...

The most elliptical orbit of any planet belongs to Mercury. The video includes obvious facts about Mercury such as the hot temperature and lack of magnetic field. It also discusses highly surprising facts such as the cracks, ice, and...

Students participate in a varity of activities surrounding "gold." They explore the science, myths, and legends about gold and conduct a debate over the environmental problems created by gold mining in a small small mining town.

Learners determine the meanings of concentration, surface area, and catalysis through an experiment. In this lesson about chemical reactions, students participate in an experiment. Learners complete three different parts of the...

Students investigate the afflictions of trees and compare the health of a human to that tree.  In this tree instructional activity students complete an activity and create and present a report.
