Chemistry aces use an electrochemical cell to anodize a strip of aluminum. They apply an organic dye to it. In a practical application, they design a piece of jewelry out of the anodized metal and describe the process. Thorough notes...

If you use this as an outline for your chemistry lecture on metals, your young chemists will absorb a well-rounded overview. This is not a worksheet per se, but a useful summary of the behavior of metals. Save yourself some planning and...

Young scholars investigate the uses of aluminum and the importance of recycling. they then write a script and produce an informative and entertaining video about about aluminum recycling.

Young scholars examine Barton's pendulums and watch the video Tacoma Narrows bridge.  In this pendulum and momentum lesson plan students complete a lab activity, view a video and research a given topic. 

Students share their knowledge about aluminum and aluminum recycling by sharing the information with the rest of the community.

Students explore their community recycling program and observe how aluminum cans are processed for recycling.

Learners investigate the manufacture of aluminum cans and consider the energy and resources saved when the cans are made from recycled material. They explore the concept of closed-loop recycling using charts, worksheets and discussion.

Students describe how aluminum is recycled. They study a diagram illustrating the recycling path of an aluminum can. They answer questions regarding aluminum. They write letters to recycling firms for information on starting a recycling...

Students examine the importance of recycling aluminum and the recycling process as it applies to aluminum. They discuss the recycling process fo aluminum, analyze a section of the book "Where Does the Garbage Go?," and create an...

Students explore properties of cans (including aluminum and steel) as they rotate through stations. They experiment with magnets, weight differences, resistance to corrosion and temperature conductivity.
