Curated OER
Relative Masses
Students investigate relative mass using 8 different items. For this relative masses lesson plan, students discuss as a class John Dalton's atomic theory. They take the masses of the 8 items and record their data. They discuss relative...
Curated OER
Understanding the Mole
High schoolers develop an understanding of the mole and molar masses of elements. In this mole lesson plan, students use beans to find their relative masses and draw parallels to the atomic masses of elements. High schoolers work in...
Curated OER
Subatomic Particles
In this atoms worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer comparing the properties of the 3 subatomic particles. Then students complete 1 short answer question.
Curated OER
Calculating the Number of Sub-Atomic Particles in an Atom
In this atoms activity, students compare the position, relative charge and relative mass of sub-atomic particles. Students define mass number and atomic number. This activity has 2 graphic organizers and 4 short answer questions.
Physics Classroom
The Physics Classroom: Momentum and Collisions: Fish Catch Interactive
Students explore the relative mass of two colliding objects, and determine if that can be used to quickly predict the post-collision speed of the objects? An activity sheet guides learners through the process of determining the rule for...
Physics Classroom
The Physics Classroom: Momentum and Collisions: Exploding Carts Interactive
Students explore different situations where two side-by-side carts on a low-friction track push away from each other and travel in opposite directions. The goal is to investigate the effects on the relative mass.
