  Lesson Plan: Coulomb's Law Mark as Favorite (49 Favorites)

  In this lesson students explore qualitative applications of Coulomb’s law within atoms and between ions and solvents.

• 

  Lesson Plan: AP Chemistry Experimental Evidence Review Mark as Favorite (47 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will evaluate data from 16 simulated lab experiments that were designed to mirror the Recommended Labs from the College Board. Corresponding lab experiments and demonstration options have also been included for teacher reference.

• 

  Lesson Plan: Modeling Energy in Chemistry: Energy and the Electron Mark as Favorite (65 Favorites)

  This activity is designed for students to build a scientific argument about the relationship between energy and spectral lines by exploring how light interacts with atoms. In the process, students will examine proposed models of the hydrogen atom and use collected data to analyze the proposed models. They will then select one of the models and write a scientific argument to support their choice. Students will then review additional data to support and/or refute their selection. Based on their analysis, students will revise their selected model and construct a new argument to support their revisions.

  Lab: Ideal Gas Law Mark as Favorite (70 Favorites)

  In this lab, students use the reaction of an antacid table with water to inflate a balloon. They then use the ideal gas law to determine the number of moles of gas produced by the reaction.

• 

  Activity: Periodic Trends II: Electron Affinity, Atomic Radius, & Ionic Radius Mark as Favorite (84 Favorites)

  In this simulation, students will focus their investigation on the electron affinity of an atom. Through the use of this simulation students will have the opportunity to examine the formation of an anion as well as compare the atomic radius of a neutral atom to the ionic radius of its anion.

• 

  Lab: Formula of an Unknown Hydrate Mark as Favorite (35 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will design a laboratory procedure in order to ultimately determine the formula of an unknown hydrated salt. Students must recognize what data points are necessary to collect during the process, as well as how to analyze the data appropriately.

• 

  Lesson Plan: AP Chemistry Big Idea Review Mark as Favorite (126 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will complete a review of all of the AP Chemistry Big Ideas and Learning Objectives using questions targeting each learning objective. This lesson is based on the AACT AP Chemistry Webinar series: What’s the Big Idea? Last Minute AP Chem Review and What’s the Big Idea? AP Chemistry Review Redux. 

• 

  Lab: Carbonate Identification Mark as Favorite (34 Favorites)

  In this lab students use gas laws and stoichiometry, along with some balloons and simple measuring tools, to identify a metal carbonate from a short list of possibilities.

• 

  Lesson Plan: Introduction to PES Mark as Favorite (53 Favorites)

  In this lesson students will learn how to interpret simple photoelectron spectroscopy spectra by incorporating their knowledge of electron configurations, periodic trends, and Coulomb’s law.

• 

  Activity: Periodic Trends I: Ionization Energy, Atomic Radius & Ionic Radius Mark as Favorite (175 Favorites)

  In this simulation, students will investigate several periodic trends, including atomic radius, ionization energy and ionic radius. Through the use of this simulation students will have the opportunity to examine atomic data as well as visually compare and interact with select elements from the periodic table.

• 

  Lab: Analysis of Carbonate Compounds Mark as Favorite (58 Favorites)

  In this lab, students calculate the molar masses of three unknown carbonate compounds by measuring the amount of product (CO2) produced by a reaction with hydrochloric acid.

• 

  Activity: Periodic Trends Investigation Mark as Favorite (102 Favorites)

  In this activity, students investigate trends in atomic radius, electron affinity, and ionization energy using an online interactive periodic table.

• 

  Lab: Electromagnetic Forces in the Atom Mark as Favorite (4 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will better understand that opposite charges attract each other, and like charges repel.

• 

  Activity: VSEPR with Balloons Mark as Favorite (62 Favorites)

  In this activity, students will explore Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory using balloon models. Since balloons tend to take up as much space as they can when tied together, they can look like models of central atoms in VSEPR theory, making a great metaphor for the model. This activity is an extension of the activity, Shapes of Molecules found on the AACT website.

• 

  Animation: Atomic & Ionic Radii Animation Mark as Favorite (70 Favorites)

  This animation explores patterns in atomic and ionic radii. Students will look at the different sizes of atoms in the third period and the atoms in the sixth group to see trends across periods and down groups. They will also look at an atom and its corresponding cation as well as an atom and its corresponding anion. **This video has no audio**

• 

  Simulation: Periodic Trends II: Electron Affinity, Atomic Radius & Ionic Radius Mark as Favorite (33 Favorites)

  The May 2016 simulation is a follow-up to the March 2016 simulation. Students will focus their investigation on the electron affinity of an atom. Through the use of this simulation students will have the opportunity to examine the formation of an anion as well as compare the atomic radius of a neutral atom to the ionic radius of its anion.

• 

  Simulation: Periodic Trends: Ionization Energy, Atomic Radius & Ionic Radius Mark as Favorite (100 Favorites)

  In this simulation for the March 2016 issue, students can investigate the periodic trends of atomic radius, ionization energy, and ionic radius. By choosing elements from the periodic table, atoms can be selected for a side by side comparison and analysis. Students can also attempt to ionize an atom by removing its valence electrons. Quantitative data is available for each periodic trend, and can be further examined in a graph.
