Students conduct a simple test to determine how many drops of each of three liquids can be placed on a penny before spilling over. They come up with an explanation for their observations about different amounts of liquids a penny can hold.

Learners brainstorm what matter is and how they define it. They construct a water molecule with marshmallows and toothpicks. In addition, they watch videos to explore the use the idea of nanoscience to investigate the properties of...

Students are able to use inquiry to answer the essential questions. They are able to predict and test configurations of a battery, bulb, and wire that make the complete circuit. Students craft a group and individual theory of a...

In these creative hands-on activities, students construct several different molecular models that represent substances that play an essential role in our nutritional needs. Using gum drops and toothpicks, students design the models....

Students examine the importance of proteins including their function and structure.  In this protein lesson plan students play a game to help them better understand proteins.

Students investigate the carbon dioxide content of different sodas. In this chemistry lesson plan, students explain why PET containers are preferable than HDPE for soda bottles. They collect data and graph them.

Students study the design elements of Art Nouveau, its sources and development. They create art projects in ceramics and glass that exemplify the focus of Art Nouveau as a decorative style.

Students use models to visualize molecular structures. Students read about Lewis dot structures, hybridization, and formal charge. Then students build and draw the molecules and ions given. Students complete 11 pre-lab questions and 4...

Students recognize and name the products used to build a hamburger. They review the USDA Food Guide Pyramid. Students are given worksheets, and they match the burger parts to the picture parts. They conduct a taste test on samples of the...

Students investigate the process that occurs when liquids evaporaate. They test water and alcohol to determine which substance evaporates more quickly and relate the rate to energy changes.

Students create a synthetic dye and oxidize the dye and record the effects.

In this lipids instructional activity, students review the different types of lipids and how lipids are used by the body. This instructional activity has 3 drawings and 27 fill in the blank statements.

This lesson will define hydrogen bonding. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Hydrogen Bonding Definition."

The purpose of this tutorial is to introduce you to some of the chemical concepts which are necessary to understand biology. Concepts include the basics for understanding biology, chemical bonds and attractive forces, the chemistry of...
