  • Chemical Reaction Simulation

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will use their ion pieces to simulate the finishing and balancing of chemical equations.

  • Pendulum Lab

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students determine which of three variables affects the period of a pendulum.

  • Balancing Chemical Equations Simulation

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will use paper cutouts to simulate chemical reactions and balancing products and reactants

  • Molecular Shape

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will determine whether the shape of a water molecule is linear or bent

  • Identifying Types of Streetlights Lab

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will build an apparatus that will allow them to see the spectrum created by different streetlights.

  • Growing Crystals

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will grow crystals of sugar, sodium chloride, and Epsom salts.

  • Decomposition of Water Lab

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will decompose water by running electricity through inert conductors.

  • Solubility Lab

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will judge the solubility of three solids and three liquids.

  • Sea Ice Lab

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will learn whether or not ice formed on the surface of ice water is salty.

  • Invisible Ink Lab

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will create an “invisible ink” and then test to see which chemical may be responsible for making it invisible

  • Oxidation Lab

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will put two different types of nails (galvanized and nongalvanized) into different conditions to see how the rate of rusting is affected.

  • Synthesis Reaction

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will put a penny in ammonia and observe it for several days.

  • Thickness of Paper Lab

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students determine the thickness of one sheet of paper.

  • Single Displacement Reaction

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will use steel wool and vinegar to form iron (II) acetate.

  • Double Displacement Reaction: Precipitate Lab

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will mix ammonia with the iron (II) acetate from Activity 40 to make a precipitate.
