In a hypothetical scenario, food chemists use titration to concoct a brine solution for producing the crunchiest pickles. They also analyze store-bought pickle juices. In addition to reinforcing titration techniques, the instructional...

Estimating Errors in Chemistry is a detailed handout that illustrates the importance of calculating the percent error when working in the chemistry lab. There are no actual problems to solve, just notes and examples of calculations. Hand...

What is the difference between accuracy and precision? This learning exercise has students define the terms accuracy and precision, and compare bulleye diagrams to find examples of both. Students analyze given data and determine the...

For this enthalpy of reactions worksheet, students use a known amount of copper (II) sulphate solution and an excess of zinc powder to calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction. Students measure the temperature change over the course...

In this measurements worksheet, students fill in 10 blanks, determine if statements are true or false, match 6 terms with the appropriate definitions, and solve 2 problems. Topics include converting to scientific notation, identifying...

Students experience data collection, analysis and inquiry in this LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT -based activity. They measure the position of an oscillating platform using a ultrasonic sensor and perform statistical analysis to determine the mean,...

At its core, the LEGO MINDSTORMS product provides a programmable microprocessor. Students use the EV3 processor to simulate an experiment involving thousands of uniformly random points placed within a unit square. Using the underlying...

A clear (as these things go) presentation of the calculation of relativistic momentum. Given with a handy calculator that even calculates the % error. The site goes on to Momentum of a Photon, and to Relativistic Energy in Terms of...
