  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.

• 

  Percent Composition, Measurements | High School

  Lab: Percent Composition Mark as Favorite (8 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will calculate the percent composition of sugar in gum and the percent composition of water in popcorn kernels.

• 

  Measurements, Percent Composition | High School

  Lab: Mineral Investigation Mark as Favorite (11 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will put their problem solving skills to work as a team to determine how many specific samples of ore can be made from a lode equivalent to the size of their classroom. This lab is perfect for the start of the school year to engage students in real-life applications of chemistry, as well as essential mathematic and measurement skills.

• 

  Mole Concept, Measurements, Dimensional Analysis | High School

  Lab: Calculating Moles Mark as Favorite (21 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will have the opportunity to practice conducting the chemist’s way of counting atoms and molecules by using the mole. They will determine the mass of various common elements and compounds and convert this data into values of moles, atoms and molecules. This will allow students to realize the connection between commonly used laboratory chemicals and the quantitative data and calculations that are such a fundamental part of chemistry.

• 

  Mole Concept, Dimensional Analysis, Measurements | High School

  Activity: Bring Me A Mole Mark as Favorite (19 Favorites)

  In this lab, students take an abstract concept, the mole, and turn it into a real measurable concept.

• 

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

  Lab: Bowling Ball—Will it Sink or Float in Water? Mark as Favorite (2 Favorites)

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

• 

  Measurements, SI Units | High School

  Activity: Mysteriously Melodramatic & Maniacal Metric Measurements Mark as Favorite (17 Favorites)

  In this activity, students predict the measurements of objects using metric units. They then take the actual measurements and compare them to their predictions.

• 

  Mole Concept, Measurements, Dimensional Analysis | High School

  Lesson Plan: Molar Marks Mark as Favorite (5 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will better understand the mole concept by using chalk to write their name on a sidewalk and finding out the composition of chalk through research.

• 

  Measurements, Introduction | High School

  Lab: Math and Measurement Mark as Favorite (35 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will practice introductory math skills that will be used in chemistry all year. This includes metric conversion, significant figures, scientific notation, dimensional analysis, density, percent error, accuracy and precision, as well as using lab equipment.

• 

  Conservation of Mass, Measurements, Conservation of Mass | High School, Middle School

  Lab: Mass & Change Mark as Favorite (5 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will use unified particle pictures of solid, liquid, and gas to explain the law of conservation of mass after carrying out various experiments.
