  • Solubility, Solute & Solvent, Molecular Motion, Phase Changes, Reaction Rate | Elementary School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lesson Plan: Particles in Motion Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

    In this lesson, students learn that particles that make up matter are in constant motion.

  • Entropy, Kinetic Molecular Theory, Molecular Motion, Intermolecular Forces, Density, Volume | High School

    Activity: Connecting States to Entropy Mark as Favorite (22 Favorites)

    In this activity, students use blocks to model different states of matter and the Kinetic Molecular Theory to understand the concept of entropy. This is a concept mandated by SAT level or AP level high school chemistry class.

  • Phase Changes, Physical Change, Observations, Temperature | Elementary School, Middle School

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

    In this lab, students will explore the process of condensation. Students will investigate how water vapor condenses, and then they will conduct a comparison test to see if cooling water vapor has an effect on the rate of condensation.

  • Colligative Properties, Boiling Point, Molality, Concentration, Boiling Point Elevation, Graphing, Accuracy, Physical Properties, Error Analysis | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lab: Changing Water's Boiling Point Mark as Favorite (21 Favorites)

    In this lab, students will explore colligative properties in a quantitative approach. They will measure the effect of increasing the molality of a salt solution on the solution’s boiling point, and they will graph their data and use the slope of the line of best fit to calculate the boiling point elevation constant of water. There are three versions of the lab, some of which provide more structure and guidance and others of which are more student-driven.

  • Observations, Combustion, Phase Changes, Experimental Design, Scientific Method | High School, Middle School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lab: Observing a Candle Mark as Favorite (15 Favorites)

    In this lab, students accumulate observations of a candle including a look at the combustion reaction's reactants and products.

  • Mixtures, Solute & Solvent, Phase Changes, Distillation, Introduction, Separating Mixtures, Interdisciplinary, Mixtures, Physical Change | Elementary School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lesson Plan: Now I Can Drink the Water! Mark as Favorite (3 Favorites)

    In this lesson, students review important concepts of the water cycle and then design, test, and evaluate a working model of a desalination plant (a distiller).

  • Melting Point, Elements, Matter, Density, Chemical Properties, Periodic Table, Inferences | Elementary School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. 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.

  • Molecular Motion, Intermolecular Forces | High School, Middle School

    Activity: Simulation Activity: Molecular Motion Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

    In this simulation, students will have the opportunity to explore on the molecular level how particles move in three states of matter. They will compare two different substances.

  • Molecular Motion, Heat, Phase Changes, Melting Point, Heating Curve, Freezing Point, Temperature, Graphing | High School, Middle School

    Lesson Plan: Modeling the Melting of Ice Mark as Favorite (33 Favorites)

    In this lesson, students will create a particulate model of matter that explains energy changes and transfer during a phase change.

  • Molecular Motion, Density, Physical Properties, Density, Gas Laws, Ideal Gas, Temperature, Pressure, Volume | Middle School, High School

    Simulation: Density Mark as Favorite (13 Favorites)

    The simulation for the September 2015 issue allows students to investigate the effect of changing variables on both the volume and the density of a solid, a liquid, and a gas sample. Students will analyze the different states of matter at the particle level as well as quantitatively.

  • Density, Molecular Motion | Middle School, High School

    Activity: Simulation Activity: Density Simulation Mark as Favorite (28 Favorites)

    In this simulation, students will investigate the effect of changing variables on both the volume and the density of a solid, a liquid and a gas sample. Students will analyze the different states of matter at the particle level as well as quantitatively. This lesson accompanies the simulation from the September 2015 issue of Chemistry Solutions.

  • Heating Curve, Phase Changes, Intermolecular Forces, Freezing Point, Melting Point, Boiling Point, Heat of Vaporization , Molecular Motion, Temperature, Specific Heat, Heat, Heat of Fusion | Middle School, High School

    Simulation: Heating Curve of Water Mark as Favorite (48 Favorites)

    In the May 2015 issue, students explore the heating curve for water from a qualitative and quantitative perspective. Students compare illustrations of each physical state depicted on the curve and calculate the energy required to transition from one state to another.

  • Intermolecular Forces, Polarity, Molecular Motion, Intermolecular Forces, Molecular Motion, Physical Change | High School

    Simulation: Comparing Attractive Forces Mark as Favorite (36 Favorites)

    In the November 2014 issue, students explore the different attractive foreces between pairs of molecules by dragging the "star" image. In the accompanying activity, students investigate different types of intermolecular forces (London dispersion and dipole-dipole). In the analysis that follows the investigation, they relate IMFs (including hydrogen bonding) to physical properties (boiling point and solubility).
