  Activity: Animation Activity: Units of Chemistry Mark as Favorite (17 Favorites)

  In this activity, students will view an animation that explores the importance of including units to communicate the value of measurements effectively. The animation presents definitions, units of measurement, and measuring tools for physical properties that are commonly measured or calculated in chemistry class: mass, length, temperature, volume, amount (moles), and density.

  Activity: Measurement Tools, Significant Figures and Conversions Mark as Favorite (59 Favorites)

  In this activity, students will complete several hands-on measurements, using a variety of common measuring tools. They will carefully consider how to properly report each measurement based on the tool used. Students will then complete measurement conversions, and apply their knowledge of significant figures.

  Conservation of Mass, Observations, History, Measurements, SI Units | Middle School, High School

  Activity: Lavoisier Video Questions Mark as Favorite (14 Favorites)

  In this activity, students will watch a video about Antoine Lavoisier, who many consider to be the father of modern chemistry. They will answer questions as they learn about oxygen, hydrogen, and the first proposal of the Law of the Conservation of Mass.

• 

  Temperature, History, Physical Properties, Measurements, SI Units, Accuracy | Elementary School, Middle School, High School

  Activity: Temperature Guys Video Questions Mark as Favorite (36 Favorites)

  In this activity, students will watch a video and answer questions about how both the thermometer and the concept of temperature evolved over time

  Simulation: Measuring Volume Mark as Favorite (58 Favorites)

  In this simulation, students will participate in a 10 question quiz. The quiz questions are each made of two parts, with the first part requiring the student to analyze an image of a graduated cylinder in order to report an accurate measurement. Students must use the correct number of digits based on the markings presented on the cylinder when reporting the measurement. In the second portion of the question the students will determine the uncertainty value of the graduated cylinder, again by analyzing its markings. The simulation is made up of several different sizes of graduated cylinders, each containing unique markings, so students will be challenged to analyze each individually.
