Conservation of Mass, Observations, Inferences, Matter, Error Analysis | High School
Lab: Investigating Mass Change Mark as Favorite (17 Favorites)
In this lab, students perform seven different investigations in order to develop an understanding of conservation of mass.
-
Density, Matter, Physical Properties, Measurements | Elementary School, Middle School, High School
Animation: Density Animation Mark as Favorite (43 Favorites)
This animation explores density on the particulate level. There are opportunities to make qualitative and quantitative comparisons between substances. **This video has no audio**
-
Elements, Model of the Atom, History, Introduction, Matter, Observations, Periodic Table, Culminating Project, Atoms | Middle School, High School
Activity: Is a Picture Worth 1000 Words? Mark as Favorite (2 Favorites)
In this activity, students will learn about early chemistry discoveries through a textbook reading as well as from a cartoon.
-
Phase Changes, Physical Properties, Molecular Motion, Introduction, Matter | Elementary School
Lesson Plan: Introducing States of Matter Mark as Favorite (11 Favorites)
In this lesson, students will investigate particle behavior in different forms of matter: solid, liquid and gas. Students will have an opportunity to examine a model of the particles in the different states of matter and will also participate in a kinesthetic demonstration of matter. They will also learn what makes the states of matter different from one another when changing from one form to another.
-
Physical Properties, Observations, Matter | Elementary School
Activity: Sorting Buttons Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)
In this lab, students will investigate observable properties of matter. Students will use their knowledge of physical properties to create and separate mixtures of assorted buttons based on the characteristics of color, shape and number of holes.
-
Polarity, Intermolecular Forces, Intermolecular Forces, Physical Change, Matter | Middle School
Lesson Plan: Sandy Beaches—A Foray into ‘Magic’ Sand Mark as Favorite (5 Favorites)
In this lesson, students will investigate the properties of magic sand and learn about the concept of hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules. It also introduced students to the field of nanotechnology.
-
Physical Properties, Introduction, Matter, Chemical Properties | Elementary School
Activity: Properties of Matter Mark as Favorite (3 Favorites)
In this activity, students will focus on the properties of matter and distinguish matter by their physical properties
-
Gas Laws, Matter, Density, Density, Temperature, Pressure, Volume, Graphing, Observations, Measurements | High School, Middle School
Lab: Pressure Bottle Mark as Favorite (3 Favorites)
In this lab, students determine the relationship between volume and pressure of a gas and its temperature and address the common misconception that air does not have mass or density.
-
Conservation of Matter, Chemical Change, Photosynthesis, Balancing Equations, Reversible Reactions, Molecular Formula, Molecular Structure, Conservation of Mass, Interdisciplinary, Matter, Elements, Monomer | Elementary School
Lesson Plan: Plant Chemistry Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)
In this lesson, students will explore a simple, but key, biochemical reaction: photosynthesis.
-
Periodic Table, Elements, Matter, Physical Properties, Chemical Properties, Observations, Identifying an Unknown | High School, Middle School
Lab: Periodic Table Trends Mark as Favorite (30 Favorites)
In this lab, students will investigate trends of the periodic table by examining samples of six elements. Students will use observations about the elements’ appearance, conductivity, and malleability to determine whether they are metals, nonmetals, or metalloids. They will also see how these elements, as well as two more in a teacher demo, react with water and use this information to make claims about reactivity patterns in the periodic table.
-
Melting Point, Elements, Matter, Density, Chemical Properties, Periodic Table, Inferences | Elementary School
Lesson Plan: Mystery Metals Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)
In this lesson, students will make measurements, calculations, and inferences to help solve a mystery about the identity of an unknown metal.
-
Chemical Bond, Molecular Structure, Atoms, Elements, Matter, Interdisciplinary, Naming Compounds | Elementary School
Lesson Plan: Modeling Molecules Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)
In this lesson, students explore the structure of matter by designing, building, comparing, and evaluating models of a variety of simple molecules.
-
