Blend chemistry with cooking in this exploration of polymers, carbohydrates, and food science. Experimenting with gelatin produces concrete examples of the bonding and ploymerization discussed in the instructional activity. Copious,...

Here is a nice, clean wrap-up lesson for your chemistry class when they are studying chemical reactions . They experiment with different oils to make soap. To make it more fun, they are to imagine that they are part of a soap testing...

Advanced lab apprentices prepare zinc and copper solutions to which they will compare the same minerals from a multivitamin. Using absorption spectroscopy, they analyze the contents of the multivitamin for concentration. This lab can be...

Use the classic density demonstration of placing a cola, a clear soda, and a diet soda into a tank of water. Then let learners attempt to pour some of the soda into layers in a clear container. The procedure explains a thermocline, and...

Twenty-six elements, compounds, and ions are randomly listed for chemistry whizzes to analyze. They are to diagram the Lewis electron dot structure for each, resulting in further insight on the configuration of different molecules. They...

This biochemistry practice exam queries takers on the organic molecules. Pupils write IUPAC names, identify boiling and melting points of different compounds, and more. This is definitely designed for a college-level biochemistry course,...

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...

Here is a straightforward practice test for first year chemistry learners. Responders balance equations, identify types of reactions, represent electron configurations, and solve stoichiometry problems. Keep this handy to use as...

For this nuclear chemistry worksheet, students define radioactivity and the types of nuclear reactions. They label nuclear reactions with one of five types of reactions including fusion, fission, induced, natural decay or electron capture.

Twenty chemical combinations are described for which high school chemists write out balanced equations and identify the physical state for each reactant and product. In some cases, no reaction would occur, so they need to be able to...

Very simply, pairs of learners construct a model of the tetrahedral silica structure using raisins and toothpicks. They dip it into a soapy solution and then blow a bubble "atom" into its center. The lesson plan gives instructions that...

The first of two worksheets methodically prepares chemistry novices for naming polyatomic compounds. It begins by having them acknowledge the number of each atom contained in a molecule. Then learners list the valence electrons for a...

Nanotechnology is described for emerging engineers. Instructions for converting nanometers to meters is provided. Finally, the step-by-step laboratory procedure for measuring the size of an oil molecule is walked through. What a terrific...

If you need a way to assess the concepts in your physical science class, use an extended set of worksheets as a midterm or final exam. It includes questions about density, physical and chemical matter, speed and velocity, weight and...

Students investigate issues of degradation and weathering of polymeric materials during their useful life. They evaluate photodegradable plastics and their viability as an environmental solution for litter and investigate the qualitative...

Twelfth graders perform dihybrid crosses and calculate phenotype and genotype ratios. In this series of science lessons, 12th graders explain the process of anodizing aluminum. They research on the benefits and harm caused by resonance...

A total of five experiments lead chemistry pros to understand the difference between physical and chemical change. They also experiment with exothermic reaction factors that affect rate of reaction. The procedures are not written in the...

This is an apt assignment for chemistry takers that are studying ionic solutions. Eight questions require problem solving and critical thinking to answer. The first question instructs learners to use a table in the textbook, but you can...

Students examine a density demonstration involving ice cubes and beakers of water and alcohol. After observing how one ice cube floats in water and sinks in alcohol, they determine which mixture of the two would suspend the ice cube in...

In this compounds instructional activity, students name the given compounds from its chemical formulas and write the chemical formula from the compound name. This instructional activity has

In this qualitative analysis learning exercise, students read about all the different tests that can be done in chemistry to give qualitative results. Tests include flame tests, forming precipitates with sodium hydroxide, using sodium...

Students participate in a chemistry experiment to determine the effects of temperature on solubility. They create a chart of their findings.

Students undertake a series of experiments related to the water cycle. All experiments use John Dewey's experiential philosophy as their bases. Each lesson is clearly based on philosophy and attempts to be relevant.

High schoolers graph and analyze data using a spreadsheet.
