• 

  Dimensional Analysis, Significant Figures | High School

  Lab: Nanoscale and Self-Assembly

  In this lab, students determine both the diameter of one single BB and the length of an oleic acid molecule.

• 

  Measurements, SI Units | High School

  Activity: Mysteriously Melodramatic & Maniacal Metric Measurements

  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, Dimensional Analysis | High School

  Lab: Moles of Food

  In this lab, students will analyze the nutrition label of a variety of foods to find the amount of specific elements in each serving. Students are asked to evaluate and compare the data in a series of questions, in order to convert the values to moles. This lab gives students the opportunity to see the connection between the chemistry mole concept and everyday foods.
