Chemistry Activities Done in Class:Rainbow Lab: Great introductory lab to using lab equipment, following directions, measuring using graduated cylinders, and lab safety. Click on the picture for the lab sheets. You can do it at home with some water and food coloring.
Watch the slideshow to learn about Physical and Chemical Changes! What are the 5 signs of a chemical change? Take notes in your notebook!!

Chemical and Physical Changes: 10 Station Lab
Click on the picture for the lab sheets. Most of the materials you can find at home! We have built ball and stick models of molecules. Click the picture for the first page of the lab sheet to get started... For more practice (or if you weren't in class) please see additional resources below and do a Phet simulation. Scroll down to find worksheets below: "Building Atoms and Molecules"
Sherlock Lab
|
Chemical vs Physical Properties
Learn about different types of chemical bonds
Balancing Chemical Equations
Acids & Bases
Students need to be able to compare and contrast acids and bases.
Chemistry in Real Life
|
We read and discussed the significance of Sherlock Holmes in forensic science. Please read this short excerpt of the story, "A Study in Scarlet" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Write down and research unknown vocabulary, then follow the directions for the questions to complete this literature study activity. Click on the picture above to get the story and activity.
The Proof is in the Powder! Students do a forensic science activity in which they solve a fictional crime based on the chemistry of the clues. Click the picture for the lab sheets.
Closed System Lab
Open vs Closed System. We begin to learn about Conservation of mass! Click the picture above for the lab sheets
Balancing Chemical Equations
Skittles Stoichiometry! Learn to balance equations using skittles as atoms. Click the picture above to get lab sheet and more details.
We learned about different types of reactions in class. They should be able to identify Synthesis, Decomposition, and Combustion reactions.
Bonding
We learned the difference between Ionic and Covalent Bonds today in class. Students can predict the type of bond that will be formed between 2 elements.
Acids & Bases
We did an Acid/ Base Exploration Lab where students tested various household acids and bases then created their own pH color scale.
We did a simulation on PHET where students could see the difference between acids and bases.
