    In this lesson, students will develop an understanding of the chemistry of plastics and apply their knowledge in order to engineer a cost effective and environmentally friendly method to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

  • Culminating Project, Chemical Properties, Physical Properties, History, VSEPR Theory, Polymers, Covalent Bonding | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Project: The Evolution of Materials Science in Everyday Products

    In this project, students will be able to understand the progression of development of an everyday product and display their knowledge through a creative video. They will investigate the history and chemical composition of the product through the present day. The students will then suggest an innovation about how the product can be altered in the future to improve society.

  • Review, Culminating Project | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lesson Plan: AP Chemistry Big Idea Review

    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. 

  • Review, Culminating Project | Elementary School, Middle School, High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Project: Icosahedron!

    In this project, students will create an icosahedron, a twenty sided ball, to present information about a topic. The icosahedron can be used for any topic that would require the allocation and presentation of material.

  • Physical Properties, Density, Separating Mixtures, Matter, Culminating Project, Interdisciplinary, Phase Changes | Elementary School, Middle School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: The Castaway!

    In this activity, students use their knowledge of the properties of matter to create and/or design items needed for survival on a deserted island.

  • Culminating Project | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Understanding Renewable Energy

    In this project, students will conduct research in order to become an “expert” on a specific type of renewable energy source. Students will produce a media presentation and a poster board as well as participate in a symposium focused on renewable energy sources.

  • Culminating Project | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Video Project

    In this activity, students will solve a multistep problem in a video so others can learn how to solve it.

  • Introduction, Culminating Project | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Toy Project

    In this project, students will develop a toy or elementary school project into an inquiry demonstration suitable for a high school chemistry class.

  • Elements, Model of the Atom, History, Introduction, Matter, Observations, Periodic Table, Culminating Project, Atoms | Middle School, High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Is a Picture Worth 1000 Words?

    In this activity, students will learn about early chemistry discoveries through a textbook reading as well as from a cartoon.

  • Identifying an Unknown, Culminating Project, Classification of Reactions | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lab: The Culminating Unknown

    In this lab, students identify an unknown from a list of 12 possible compounds by designing a procedure and using evidence to prove their claim. They must draw from knowledge gained throughout the year to properly develop a procedure to identify the unknown.

  • Culminating Project | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Stop-Motion Video

    In this activity, students will pick a concept to bring to life in a stop-motion video.

  • Culminating Project | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Second Semester Projects

    In this project, students will choose a topic and express their knowledge using a medium that they feel suites their style.

  • Chemical Change, Conservation of Matter, Identifying an Unknown, Culminating Project, Elements | Middle School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lab: Priestley Labs

    In this lab, students will identify an unknown gas based on experimental evidence.

  • Electricity, Atoms, Electrons, Electrons, Culminating Project, Interdisciplinary | Elementary School, Middle School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Electrical Circuit Quiz Box

    In this activity, students will learn that the flow of electrons within a closed circuit make our lives easier. Students will construct a circuit quiz box that lights up when the correct question and answer are chosen.

  • Lab Safety, Culminating Project | High School, Middle School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Dangerous Goods Specialist

    In this activity, students will take on the role of a Dangerous Goods Specialist for a large chemical company. In this role, students will research a specific commercially available industrial chemical looking at both the properties of the compound as well as how can they safely ship the chemical to a buyer in a cost effective and timely manner.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Culminating Project | High School, Middle School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: 24-7 Lecture

    In this activity, students must demonstrate their understanding of a topic by making a 24 second video and summarizing the concept in seven words.
