    In this lab, students will expose metal samples to various solutions and observe the amount of corrosion of a period of time.

  • Exothermic & Endothermic, Physical Change | High School, Middle School

    Lesson Plan: Particle Modeling of Hand Warmers

    In this lesson, students will create a particulate model of matter that explains energy changes and transfer during a physical process, such as the crystallization of a solid from a supersaturated solution.

  • Conservation of Mass, Chemical Change | High School, Middle School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lab: Conservation of Mass

    In this lab, students perform three simple experiments, recording the mass of a substance before and after a reaction. They then explain how the law of conservation of mass was not violated, even if the mass changed.

  • Density, Density | High School, Middle School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Demonstration: Comparing Gas Density

    In this demonstration, students will observe a reaction between baking soda and vinegar in the presence of a variety of different heights of lit candles. The initial environment has plenty of oxygen present in order to sustain the candle’s flame; however the reaction will produce carbon dioxide which will cause the lit candles to extinguish in order of height. Students will analyze and compare the presence of the gases in the container and make determinations about the densities of each.

  • Observations | Middle School, Elementary School, High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Compare and Contrast

    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

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lab: Classifying Reaction Types

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

  • Density | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lab: Colors of the Rainbow

    In this lab, students will practice density calculations and put their calculations to test by creating their own density column.

  • Interdisciplinary, Culminating Project | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Project: Chemistry and Art Exhibition

    In this project, students will use chemistry techniques to construct a piece of artwork.

  • Solute & Solvent, Physical Change, Solubility | Middle School, High School

    Lab: Chemistree

    In this lab, students will prepare a solution to observe a physical change.

  • Introduction | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Chemistry Fact vs Fiction

    In this activity, students will read a short article, view a video, and discuss why they believe the article and video are or are not reliable sources of information. Students will then perform a basic laboratory experiment implementing the steps of the Scientific Method.

  • Interdisciplinary, Culminating Project | High School

    Activity: Chemistry Close Read

    In this activity, students will learn through actively reading real-world chemistry articles. The close-read strategy is used as a way of enhancing student understanding and engagement by slowing down the reading process without detracting from the current curriculum.

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

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lab: Chemical Reactions & Equations

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

  • 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

    Download this lab in which students will explore colligative properties in a quantitative approach.

  • Introduction, Inferences, Observations | High School, Middle School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Check Activity

    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.

  • Atomic Spectra, Emission Spectrum, Emission Spectrum, Electromagnetic Spectrum, Interdisciplinary, Identifying an Unknown | Middle School, High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lab: Build a Spectroscope

    In this lab, the students will make and use a spectroscope to identify the spectra within various types of light bulbs. The students will then develop an improved design for the spectroscope.

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

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lab: Breath Test

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

  • Density, Dimensional Analysis, Review, Measurements, Accuracy, Accuracy, Experimental design, Error analysis | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lab: Bowling Ball—Will it Sink or Float in Water?

    In this lab, students will find the density of a bowling ball to determine whether it will sink or float in water.

  • Molecular Formula, Periodic Table, Ionic Bonding, Covalent Bonding | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Bondy (Rummy)

    In this activity, students play a game in which they use element cards to form compounds.

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

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Black Box

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

  • Atoms, Subatomic Particles, Isotopes, Atomic Theory, History, Elements | Middle School, High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Atomic Structure RAFT

    In this activity, students choose from a number of activity options in order to best display their understanding of atomic structure. The RAFT model will be followed for this assignment, which means the students choose their assignment and may modify the assignment based on Role, Audience, Format, and Topic.
