General chemistry class members engage in a mini-unit on mole conversions. Through nine lab activites with varying degrees of difficulty, they practice measuring mass and volume, molar calculations, and stoichiometry. Terrific...

Young scholars are introduced to the mole concept using a discovery-based method. Lesson includes activities with candy that allow students to discover the rules for mole-item, item-mole, mole-mass, and mass-mole conversions.

Students recognize the concepts of the five general types of chemical reaction: combination, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement and combustion. They practice classifying chemical equations and determine the moles in a...

Students find moles and molecules used when a candle burns. In this moles and molecules lesson plan, students calculate the initial mass of a candle and the mass of a candle after it burns for 3 minutes. They calculate the mass lost when...

Students develop an understanding of the mole and molar masses of elements. In this mole lesson plan, students use beans to find their relative masses and draw parallels to the atomic masses of elements. Students work in teams and each...

Students explain the mole concept and use this concept to prepare chemical solutions of particular molarities.

Students discover stoichiometric relationships in chemical equations. They review mole to mole conversions. They understand mass/particle conversions. They perform a lab to reinforce stoichiometry.

Students titrate a sample of fatty acids with standardized sodium hydroxide solution. From the amount of base needed for neutralization and the mass of sample used for titration, the apparent average molar mass of the sample is...

Students are introduced to stoichiometric relationships in chemical equations with a Trail Mix activity before performing a lab to reinforce stoichiometry. Students complete the unit with a lab about limiting reactants in chemical...

Third graders create Zoom Balls to explain how sometimes both forces of push and pull need to be used at the same time.

High schoolers create a synthetic dye and oxidize the dye and record the effects.

Eighth graders use lab work and software to collect and analyze pressure and temperature data in order to illustrate the relationship between the temperature and pressure of a gas at a constant volume. They conduct a lab and organize...
