As to be expected from the American Chemical Society Olympiad Examinations Task Force, this 60-question test tops the charts in terms of excellence. It consists entirely of multiple choice questions designed to assess a year's worth of...

Let the lab be a catalyst to learn about enzymes. Scholars create alginate beads filled with yeast. As part of an investigation into enzymes, they see how these beads provide a catalyst to the reaction of glucose into ethanol.

Advanced chemistry classes compare the polymerization of styrene using two different initators: benzoyl peroxide and aluminum chloride. Once they synthesize polystyrene, they compare the two producet for melting point and density. There...

In this chemistry in action activity, students read about sulphuric acid, the use of metals, the production of titanium and the detection of chemical elements and compounds. Students are given 8 statements about what they should...

In this catalysts worksheet, learners use transition metals ions to catalyze oxidation reactions of iodide ions. Students measure the rate of the reactions by measuring free iodine as a product.

Students investigate making esters in the lab. In this ester lesson plan, students mix 3 organic acids with 3 alcohols and a catalyst to form 3 different esters. Students identify the odors of each ester and write the formulas for the...

In this chemical reactions worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle by figuring out the vocabulary words associated with 34 clues.

In this reactions worksheet, students give the equation for the overall reaction, identifying the catalyst in the equation. Students create graphs and write out the rate determining step. This worksheet has 4 graphs, 2 short answers, and...

Middle schoolers describe how automobile emissions pollute the air and make inferences and predictions about traffic and air pollution. They organize the data into charts and tables for interpretation and select a reasonable solution...
