Demonstration: Cooking an Egg in Chemistry Class Mark as Favorite (7 Favorites)
In this demonstration, students will observe the very high latent heat of vaporization for water by boiling water over a Bunsen burner in a paper cup to cook a boiled egg. The discussion can be extended to incorporate intermolecular forces to explain the unusually high boiling point of water, as well as heat of vaporization and specific heat capacity.

Physical Properties, Covalent Bonding, Electronegativity, Polarity, Molecular Geometry, Intermolecular Forces, Solubility | Middle School, High School
Activity: The Chemistry of Water Video Questions Mark as Favorite (45 Favorites)
In this activity, students will watch a video and answer questions about how the molecular geometry and polarity of water give rise to many of its unusual physical properties, including its relatively high boiling point and its ability to dissolve some substances but not others.

Activity: Simulation Activity: Heating Curve of Water Mark as Favorite (88 Favorites)
In this simulation, students will investigate qualitatively and quantitatively what happens as water changes states.
-
Pressure, Gas Laws, Kinetic Molecular Theory, Temperature, Volume, Molecular Motion, Intermolecular Forces | High School, Middle School
Lab: Gas Pressure Mark as Favorite (39 Favorites)
In this lab, students will understand what causes pressure in a container and the variables that affect pressure (volume, temperature, number of moles) by mimicking molecular motion of gases.
-
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.

Simulation: Heating Curve of Water Mark as Favorite (50 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.
