  Oxidation | Middle School

  Lesson Plan: Old Rusty Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will explore the concept of oxidation of metals by creating designs on fabric or paper using rusty objects.

• 

  Reaction Rate | Middle School

  Demonstration: Simple Kinetics Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, students will see that different food dyes react with bleach at different rates.

  Reaction Rate | Middle School

  Lab: Plop, Fizz Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will react Alka-Seltzer tablets with water. By varying the temperature of the water, particle size of the Alka-Seltzer, and concentration of the Alka-Seltzer they can see the effect on the rate and strength of the chemical reaction.

• 

  Conservation of Mass | Middle School

  Activity: Kinesthetic Reactions Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lesson students, through their physical movement, will model the law of conservation of mass during a chemical reaction. Students will also explore the concepts of limiting and excess reactants as well as balancing a chemical equation. Through this activity they also develop a means of representing particles at the molecular level.

• 

  Chemical Change | Middle School

  Lab: Chemical Weathering in Geology Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will explore the differences between erosion, weathering and chemical weathering. They will complete a lab experiment that simulates chemical weathering on 4 different types of rocks. They will also learn how to use the Mohs Hardness Test to analyze the results.

  Chemical Change | Middle School

  Lab: Priestley Labs Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will identify an unknown gas based on experimental evidence.

• 

  Chemical Change | Middle School

  Lesson Plan: One Tube Reaction Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will observe a chemical change involving oxidation and reduction.

• 

  Chemical Change | Middle School

  Lab: Break It Down! Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will examine the physical and chemical changes that take place within a landfill by composting leftover fruits and vegetables from their lunches. They will also record pH and temperature measurements during the process.

• 

  Photosynthesis | Middle School

  Lesson Plan: The Building Blocks of Photosynthesis Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will use colored blocks to represent the elements in photosynthesis and illustrate how they are broken down and reassembled to create glucose.
