What are Atoms?

Are atoms too small to be isolated? Answer this question and more as you provide young chemists with the tools to conduct a hands-on activity demonstrating atomic mass. Pupils explore the mass of copper and aluminum, compare Dalton's...

A physical science presentation begins with an explanation of ideal gases and their behavior. Then it introduces all of the gas laws with descriptions and formulas. 

Multiple representations of the varying theories of atomic structure. With these pictures and some background of the theories and scientific figures surrounding them, your class will develop a better understanding of scientific history...

When doing a gas lab, you might feel under pressure. A short presentation discusses the Ideal Gas Law. It begins with the units for each variable, then describes the behavior of real gases. The lesson concludes with a comparison of...

Imagine if scientists today were killed for their thoughts, ideas, and beliefs. And yet, Antoine Lavoisier was beheaded for just those things in 1794. Learn about this fascinating aspect of science along with the contributions of...

Pressure and volume remain inversely proportional for all gases. Socratica presents a video about this relationship as part of their chemistry playlist. It explains Boyle's Law and the associated formulas before demonstrating the...

Gay-Lussac first published the law relating the volume and temperature of gas, but he kindly credited Charles in what is now known as Charles's Law. Part of Socratica's chemistry playlist, the video explains Charles's Law. It also works...

If an aerosol can lands in a fire, it explodes due to Gay-Lussac's Law. A video from a chemistry playlist explains Gay-Lussac's Law and the relationship between pressure and temperature of gases. It includes two guided practice problems...

Give your class some inertia with a far out video and multiple-choice questions about Newton's first law of motion. Several examples are given in an animated feature in a style that upper-elementary learners will enjoy.

This is a tremendous overview of the tiny atom. Journey through the history of human understanding of this basic building block of matter. Examine each of the sub-atomic particles in detail: neutrons, protons, electrons, quarks. Peruse...
