  Lab: Seeing the Effects of Acid Rain Mark as Favorite (5 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will prepare an environment and make acid rain to see how the acid rain effects the items in the environment.

• 

  Cracking, Chemical Change | High School

  Demonstration: Cracking Reaction Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this demo, students will witness a cracking reaction. They will verify the products by exposing the products to three side reactions.

• 

  Stoichiometry, Mole Concept, Dimensional Analysis | High School

  Lesson Plan: Map It Out! Mark as Favorite (18 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students should be able to use a graphic organizer to help them solve stoichiometry problems. This lesson utilizes the Cornell note format.

• 

  Acid Base Reactions, Stoichiometry, Limiting Reactant | High School

  Lab: Fizzy Drink Mark as Favorite (24 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will learn the properties of acid and bases while applying the principles of stoichiometry to calculate the amount of base needed to neutralize an acid completely and produce a bubbly drink.

• 

  Photosynthesis | Middle School

  Lab: The Chemical Process of Photosynthesis Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  In this lab, students will rotate through five stations to understand the importance of the reactants required for the process of photosynthesis in a plant. They will also create the chemical equation for the photosynthesis reaction.

• 

  Chemical Change, Molecular Structure | Middle School

  Lab: Detecting Fats and Starches in Food Mark as Favorite (2 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will identify fats and starches in a variety of foods. Since we eat many complex foods which contain mixtures of carbohydrates (e.g. sugars and starches), fats, and proteins, conducting food tests will enable the students to determine the make up of a certain food.

• 

  Chemical Change, Exothermic & Endothermic | High School

  Lab: Little Miss Muffet Mark as Favorite (12 Favorites)

  In this lab, students make homemade glue from milk and compare it to commercial glue.

• 

  Exothermic & Endothermic, Heat, Temperature, Classification of Reactions | Middle School, High School

  Lab: Determining Endothermic and Exothermic Reaction Mark as Favorite (19 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will analyze evidence to determine if a chemical reaction releases energy and can be classified as an exothermic reaction or if it absorbs energy and can be classified as an endothermic reaction.

• 

  Chemical Change, Chemical Change, Physical Change, Physical Properties | Middle School

  Lab: Little Miss Muffet Investigation Mark as Favorite (4 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will work in cooperative groups to conduct a chemical reaction by mixing vinegar with milk. This reaction will cause the curds to precipitate and separate from the liquid whey. The lesson can be extended by experimenting with different types of milk or by using different acids.

• 

  Chemical Change, Chemical Change | Elementary School

  Lab: Teeth Eggsperiment! Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lab students will observe and analyze how different drinks can stain an egg’s shell. They will then associate the results with how these drinks can stain their teeth.

• 

  Balancing Equations, Conservation of Mass, Photosynthesis | Middle School

  Activity: Achieving a Photosynthetic Balance Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  In this activity, students will use candies to model the rearrangement of atoms from reactant to products during photosynthesis.

• 

  Conservation of Matter, Matter, Interdisciplinary, Renewable Energy | Elementary School

  Lab: Reuse, Reduce and Recycle! Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lab students will explore ways to conserve natural resources. They will then have the opportunity to create their own recycled paper that can be used in the classroom.

• 

  Phase Changes, Photosynthesis, Renewable Energy | Elementary School, Middle School

  Lab: Mini Terrarium Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  In this lab, students will learn that even the smallest spaces can have their own climate. They will create a miniature sized terrarium and will observe how sunlight enters in order to warm the air, and in turn heat the soil and seeds. Condensation will build up in the container and the students can observe the water cycle in action, as well as the growth of the seeds over time.

• 

  Titrations, Indicators, Acid Base Reactions, Stoichiometry, Percent Composition | High School

  Lab: The Egg-straordinary Issue Mark as Favorite (34 Favorites)

  In this lab students will determine the percent composition of calcium carbonate contained in an eggshell by using a back titration in order to address a farmer’s concerns about his hen’s fragile eggs. Two versions of the student lab are included, a scripted version, and an inquiry version.

• 

  Chemical Change, Chemical Change, Physical Change, Observations | Elementary School

  Demonstration: Make a Cake! Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, students will learn about chemical reactions by observing the differences when 4 small cakes are baked. Each recipe will differ slightly in that one important ingredient will be left out in 3 of the 4 mixtures. Students will observe and discuss what happens when things are missing or left out of a mixture and how that effects the chemical reaction.

• 

  Concentration, Solute & Solvent, Chemical Change | Elementary School, Middle School

  Demonstration: Soft Eggs Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  In this demonstration, students will first observe a reaction between vinegar (acetic acid) and an egg shell (calcium carbonate) to produce a naked egg. Using these eggs, student will analyze how certain substances can move through a membrane and also determine if the membrane is affected.
