Classroom Resources: Quantitative Chemistry

1 – 6 of 6 Classroom Resources

• 

  Percent Composition, Molecular Formula, Percent Composition, Mole Concept | High School

  Activity: Mystery Gang Empirical Formulae

  In this activity, students will determine empirical formulas for samples of trace evidence collected from various crime scene scenarios. They will use the information to link a criminal to a particular crime scene.

• 

  Measurements, Dimensional Analysis, SI Units, Percent Composition, Scientific Notation, Significant Figures, Accuracy, Density | High School

  Lesson Plan: Chemical Measurement Unit Plan

  The AACT High School Classroom Resource library has everything you need to put together a unit plan for your classroom: lessons, activities, labs, projects, videos, simulations, and animations. We constructed a unit plan for introducing concepts student need to collect and use chemical measurements: Percent Composition, Metric Units, Accuracy and Precision, Percent Error, Density, Scientific Notation, Significant Figures, and Unit Conversion. This unit is designed to be used at beginning of the school year and modified based on student math abilities.

• 

  Percent Composition | High School, Middle School

  Lab: Percent Composition of M&M's

  In this lesson, students explore the idea of percent composition by investigating different varieties of M&M’s.

• 

  Percent Composition, Percent Composition | High School

  Lab: Percent Composition of Bubble Gum

  In this lab, students will be introduced to the concept of percent composition. Students will determine the amount of sweetener in various brands of gum by determining the mass difference of the gum before and after it is chewed.

• 

  Percent Composition, Measurements | High School

  Lab: Percent Composition

  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

  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.
