  • Matter, Physical Properties, Observations | Elementary School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Is Air Matter? Mark as Favorite (10 Favorites)

    In this activity, students will conduct an investigation to discover whether or not air is a form of matter. Students will first gather data, and then make a claim. They will communicate their claim in writing, using their data to support their claim.

  • Polymers, Intermolecular Forces, Molecular Structure, Physical Properties | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lesson Plan: The Right Polymer for the Job Mark as Favorite (19 Favorites)

    In this lesson students are introduced to polymeric materials by exploring polymers (mostly plastics) used in automobiles. Students will learn about the features that all polymeric materials have in common and the features that distinguish one polymer from another on the molecular level. Students will learn how the molecular differences translate into property differences. The selection of a polymer with the right properties for any particular application is of critical importance in an automobile.

  • Polymers, Physical Properties, Molecular Structure, Experimental Design, Scientific Method, History, Interdisciplinary | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lesson Plan: Give Your Car Some Bounce Mark as Favorite (4 Favorites)

    In this lesson students will learn about polymerization, specifically as it pertains to rubber tires and other materials in a vehicle. Students will take on the role of an engineer, and will investigate physical properties of different polymers and/or elastomers to determine the best material to use for an assigned product.

  • Density, Measurements, Graphing, Experimental Design, Scientific Method, Physical Properties, Error Analysis, Significant Figures, Error Analysis | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lab: Investigating the Density of an Irregular Solid Object Mark as Favorite (36 Favorites)

    In this lab, students will use common laboratory equipment to devise a method to measure the density of several irregular objects. They will then create a formal laboratory report using both their own data and data from the entire class.

  • Density, Physical Properties, Introduction, Observations, Mixtures | Elementary School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lesson Plan: What is Density Mark as Favorite (2 Favorites)

    In this two-part lesson, students will learn about density through a teacher-led demonstration and a hands-on activity. The demonstration will give students the opportunity to observe the formation of a density tower made from common drinks. Students will then create their own density tower using simple ingredients, and then further investigate differences in density when solid objects are added to the tower.

  • Physical Properties, Density, Observations, Mixtures | Elementary School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Discovery Tubes Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

    This is a fun, visual activity for young students. It allows for understanding of fundamental chemistry topics, including mixtures, miscibility, density and viscosity while analyzing a handheld colorful toy.

  • Gas Laws, Pressure, Ideal Gas, Volume, Graphing, Physical Properties, Error Analysis | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lab: Boyle's Law Mark as Favorite (6 Favorites)

    In this lab, students stack books on top of a closed syringe and use the volume change to determine the mass of the books.

  • Separating Mixtures, Observations, Physical Change, Mixtures, Physical Properties | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lab: Distillation Mark as Favorite (16 Favorites)

    In this lab, students complete a simple distillation lab separating water from cinnamon and food coloring.

  • Physical Properties, Chemical Properties | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lesson Plan: Engineering a Vehicle Mark as Favorite (6 Favorites)

    In this lesson students will take on the role of a Ford Motor Company engineer and evaluate the potential use of carbon fiber technology for use in the automotive industry.

  • Molecular Structure, Intermolecular Forces, Physical Properties | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lab: Solubility Plays a Role: Making Seitan from Flour Mark as Favorite (13 Favorites)

    This lab offers insight into a practical aspect of solubility and demystifies a common ingredient, wheat flour. In this lab students will read about the composition and observe some properties of whole wheat flour by preparing seitan, a vegetarian meat substitute made from the glutenin and gliadin proteins in flour. Gluten, formed from the interaction of the aforementioned proteins, has a unique property of elasticity.

  • History, Physical Properties, Observations, Model of the Atom | Elementary School, Middle School, High School

    Video: Ancient Chemistry Video Mark as Favorite (71 Favorites)

    This video traces the history of chemistry from the discovery of fire, through the various metal ages, and finally to the great philosophers.

  • Chemical Change, Physical Change, Physical Properties | Elementary School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. 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.

  • Separating Mixtures, Physical Properties, Mixtures, Solute & Solvent | Elementary School, Middle School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lab: What Does Ironman Eat for Breakfast? Mark as Favorite (12 Favorites)

    In this lab students will compare and contrast mixtures and solutions. They will be tasked with extracting iron from various breakfast cereals. They will then conclude which cereal would be the healthiest for Iron Man to eat for breakfast.

  • Physical Properties, Observations, Mixtures | Elementary School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lab: Ferromagnetic Fluid Mark as Favorite (2 Favorites)

    In this lab students will investigate the properties of ferromagnetic fluid and magnetism. Students will also have the opportunity to complete research about magnetic properties to help answer analysis questions.

  • Mixtures, Polarity, Observations, Physical Properties | Elementary School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Demonstration: Colorful Milk Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

    In this demonstration, students will observe as the teacher creates several colorful mixtures. Using food coloring, water and milk, students will watch the colors swirl and mix. Students will have the opportunity to make a prediction about what will happen to the colors when a sample of soap is introduced to the mixture.
