Students participate in an experiment in which the substances are sealed in a plastic bag. Watching the experiment, they determine why the chemical reaction is taking place and calculate the temperature change. To end the lesson, they...

Students explore the world of nanotechnology by synthesizing ferrofluids in a series of chemical reactions. In small groups, they follow the procedure to create the ferrofluids using precise measuring techniques. They test the resulting...

Students investigate climate change and how the properties of carbon dioxide and methane play a part.  In this climate lesson students use a chemical reaction to trap CO2 and methane.

Young scholars work in pairs to complete a worksheet that asks them to balance several chemical equations. They partner with other students to correct the equations and then follow online instructions to create a table in Word.

A full-fledged practice final prepares pupils for their general chemistry final exam. If they complete these 57 multiple-choice questions correctly, they will be well-prepared. Note: even though the questions are multiple-choice, there...

In this chemistry worksheet, students practice creating chemical equations given the names of the compounds. The answers are included in the set of sheets.

Eighth graders explore the chemical and physical properties of a variety of elements in a lab setting. They organize the data they collect onto a spreadsheet and then choose one element from the periodic table to research. They...

In this chemistry practice exam instructional activity, students solve ten multiple choice questions about equilibrium, acids, bases and reactions. Students then solve four problems about equilibrium and chemical reactions of acids and...

Biotechnology pros produce their own biofuel using waste oil and fresh vegetable oil. They test the quality of their product using titration techniques and pH analysis. They write their observations and report their findings. Be aware...

If you are willing to sort through this outline and overlook the portions relating to inaccessible videos, you will find a wealth of support for your introductory chemistry unit. Narrative is presented to help you help learners navigate...

In this chemical analysis worksheet, students calculate the empirical formula using a combustion analysis report. Students write balanced chemical equations, total ionic equations, and net ionic equations. This worksheet has 2 problems...

Time to turn the heat up on your next bonding lesson! Young chemists explore temperature, kinetic energy, and bonding through an interesting interactive. The controls allow individuals to vary the temperature, as well as pause progress...

Students connect rock and mineral formation with the changes rocks and minerals undergo at the earth's surface. They observe changes produced by weathering and relating these observations to chemical processes such as oxidation,...

In this ester worksheet, students mix organic acids with alcohols to produced esters and identify the products by the chemical reaction and the scent given off after the reaction occurs.

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...

Two laboratory problems are put forth for chemistry high schoolers. They are to plan and carry out an experiment that will answer each of the questions. The first asks them to investigate a relationship between the surface area of a...

Students investigate coal samples and analyze its drying loss under controlled conditions. They establish the loss in mass of a sample when heated under controlled conditions of temperature.

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.

Students investigate that chemicals may affect different people in different ways. They also realize that their perceptions of dangerous materials may not be realistic and that the news media may not provide all the information needed to...

Young scholars explore physics by participating in a flight experiment. In this rocket design lesson plan, students discuss the scientific process and how chemical reaction can create the energy needed to boost a rocket. Young scholars...

Students will create a simulation of the chemical reactions that occur during the digestive process. A physical change occurs when the appearance of matter changes, but the composition of the matter does not change.

Learners explain the laws of volume and pressure, identify what a limiting reagent is and why it is important in a chemical reaction, and distinguish between fossil fuels and renewable energy sources.

As the most abundant element on the earth, hydrogen requires no replacement. Yet scholars learn to replace hydrogen with a metal to liberate the hydrogen gas. A simple procedure and data table include the necessary information and...
