26 – 41 of 41 Classroom Resources

• 

  Introduction, Observations, Interdisciplinary, Scientific Method | Middle School, High School

  Activity: Engineering Project Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this activity, students work together in a small team in order to solve a problem and achieve a common goal. Students will need to work collaboratively in order to be successful. They will be required to communicate their ideas both verbally and in written form, assign duties, design and carry out a procedure in this activity. They will also be challenged with problem solving when/if their original plan fails.

• 

  Gas Laws, Matter, Density, Density, Temperature, Pressure, Volume, Graphing, Observations, Measurements | High School

  Lab: Pressure Bottle Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  In this lab, students determine the relationship between volume and pressure of a gas and its temperature and address the common misconception that air does not have mass or density.

• 

  Sublimation, Density, Observations | High School, Middle School

  Lab: Dry Ice (High School) Mark as Favorite (12 Favorites)

  In this lab, students perform several small experiments using dry ice and record their observations.

• 

  Separating Mixtures, Observations, Physical Change | High School

  Lab: Distillation Mark as Favorite (6 Favorites)

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

• 

  Observations | Middle School, Elementary School, High School

  Activity: Compare and Contrast Mark as Favorite (2 Favorites)

  In this activity, students will use their observation skills to compare and contrast two similar chemistry classroom scenes in order to identify the differences between the two.

• 

  Classification of Reactions, Balancing Equations, Chemical Change, Conservation of Mass, Observations | High School

  Lab: Classifying Reaction Types Mark as Favorite (44 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will carry out various reactions and classify the reaction types.

• 

  Balancing Equations, Chemical Change, Observations | High School, Middle School

  Lab: Chemical Reactions & Equations Mark as Favorite (11 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will observe a series of reactions, make observations, and then write balanced chemical equations to chemically describe what they observed.

• 

  Introduction, Inferences, Observations | High School, Middle School

  Activity: Check Activity Mark as Favorite (4 Favorites)

  In this activity, students develop a theory based on evidence they collect from (fake) cancelled checks to come up with a story of how they are related.

• 

  Reversible Reactions, Observations, Chemical Change, Physical Change | High School

  Lab: Breath Test Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lab, students investigate whether chemical reactions can happen only in one direction, or whether they can be "undone."

• 

  Inferences, Observations, Scientific Method | Middle School, High School

  Activity: Black Box Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  In this activity, students will experience how scientists carry out a scientific investigation through inquiry.

• 

  Observations, Scientific Method, Experimental design, Error analysis | High School

  Lab: Airplanes Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  In this lab, students will design a procedure to test for the intended outcome of a longest flight.

• 

  Chemical Change, Observations, Exothermic & Endothermic, Temperature, Chemical Change | High School

  Lab: Observing a Chemical Reaction Mark as Favorite (4 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will practice making careful observations and measurements while witnessing a chemical change.

• 

  Observations, Combustion, Phase Changes | High School

  Lab: Observing a Candle Mark as Favorite (2 Favorites)

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

• 

  Observations, Inferences, Scientific Method | High School

  Demonstration: Observations vs. Inferences Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, students will learn the the difference between observation and inferences.

• 

  Redox Reaction, History, Oxidation, Reduction, Chemical Change, Observations | High School

  Demonstration: Nitric Acid Acts Upon Copper Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  In this demonstration, students will hear a story about Ira Remsen and watch a demonstration that recreates her first experiment reacting nitric acid with a copper penny.

• 

  Chemical Change, Observations, Mixture, Acids & Bases, Chemical Change | Elementary School, Middle School, High School

  Demonstration: Inflating a Balloon with Chemistry Mark as Favorite (4 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, the teacher will perform a reaction between acetic acid (vinegar) and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in order to inflate a balloon and to introduce the concept of a chemical reaction to students. Students will observe the reaction, and identify indicators of chemical change as well as discuss the different types of matter that are involved.
