  Indicators, Chemical Properties | Middle School

  Lab: Acid & Base Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lab, students are given four unknown liquids and must identify whether they are acids or bases.

• 

  Observations, Density, Physical Properties, Introduction | Elementary School

  Activity: Sink or Float Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this activity, students investigate whether certain materials will sink or float in water. Students will also explore how the shape of an object can affect its volume and density.

• 

  Physical Change, Physical Properties, Observations | Elementary School

  Lab: Changing Shape Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lab students will analyze the physical properties of different materials in order to investigate their elasticity. They will learn how to differentiate between objects that can easily change shape and those that cannot. Also they will see that some objects can change shape, but can also return to their original shape. As the students learn about material properties, they will also determine what materials can be recycled.

  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.

• 

  Conductivity, Observations, Electricity | Middle School

  Demonstration: Getting Charged Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, students will make predictions and then observe how conductivity is measured in several electrolyte and nonelectrolyte solutions. A short discussion about electrolytes, ions, ionic compounds, and galvanic cells will follow.

  Chemical Change, Physical Change, Physical Properties | Elementary School

  Lab: What's the Fizz? Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will make a lemon fizzy drink. Students will discuss what happens when things are mixed together.

• 

  Physical Properties, Interdisciplinary, Introduction | Elementary School

  Activity: Magnificent Magnets Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this activity, students will investigate the physical properties of magnetism.

• 

  Density, Observations, Physical Properties | Elementary School

  Lab: Under the Sea: A Density Aquarium! Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will create a density aquarium. They will develop a written response comparing and contrasting the densities of the various objects within the aquarium. This lab is designed for students to work in groups after they have an understanding of density and other physical properties.

• 

  Electromagnetic Spectrum, Radiation, History | High School

  Lesson Plan: NMR and MRI: Applications in Chemistry and Medicine Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will learn about NMR and MRI imaging by reading an article and engaging in related activities. The activities help promote literacy in the science classroom. Parts of this lesson could be used as plans for a substitute teacher.

• 

  Physical Properties | Elementary School

  Activity: The Attraction of Magnets Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this activity, students will be able to investigate the physical property of magnetism and determine that magnets have the ability to attract and repel some objects while pushing and pulling “race cars” around a track.

• 

  Reaction Rate, Catalysts, Experimental Design, Chemical Change, Reaction Rate, Chemical Change | Middle School

  Lesson Plan: Investigating Fast and Slow Reaction Rates Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will review the characteristics of chemical changes and then use a catalyst and an inhibitor to explore the reaction rate of the oxidation of iron.

• 

  History | Middle School, High School

  Activity: Spellbound Episode 4 Mamie Moy Video Questions Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this activity, students will answer questions while watching a video from the Spellbound series produced by ACS. Each episode focuses on a different notable scientist, recounting how their interest in science was sparked in their childhood and how they went on to make great contributions to the scientific community. This fourth episode focuses on the childhood of Mamie Moy, who was one of few women in her time to study chemistry and get a master’s degree. She has been a devoted professor for decades, is involved in outreach, supports K-12 science educators, and mentors young women pursuing science careers.

• 

  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.

  Activity: Spices and Structures Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this activity, students will taste and make notes about the flavors of 6 common spices used to flavor food and then compare the flavors and molecular structures of the spices.

• 

  Phase Changes, Sublimation, Physical Change, Density, Observations, Temperature | Middle School

  Lesson Plan: Dry Ice Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will investigate how dry ice undergoes a phase change from solid to gas, skipping the liquid phase under normal temperature and pressure.
