Curated OER
Air, Air Everywhere! Lesson 2: Acid Rain
Middle school environmentalists record the pH of four different liquids, including two aerosol cleaning products. They liken the products to acid rain and speculate in writing which might affect the human respiratory system. Although...

Word Equation Questions
In this chemical equations worksheet, students are given 37 word equations and they complete each by filling in the product or reactant that is missing using words.
Curated OER
Are You a Trend Setter?
Learners are introduced to the periodic table of elements. They devise and perform and experiment in which they determine the density of specific elements. They use their results to predict the density of other elements in the same group.
Curated OER
Identifying Reaction Types
In this reactions worksheet, students are given nine chemical reactions to identify as single replacement, double replacement, synthesis or decomposition reactions.
Curated OER
Acid Neutralization Lab
Students discuss and design a lab to measure pH of limestone, pyrite, limestone-pyrite mixtures and their control. They have their labs approved by the instructor before they begin. Students preform the lab and explore the acid-base...
Curated OER
Baking Soda Rockets
Students make a baking soda rocket out of vinegar, baking soda, and a soda bottle. In this rockets lesson plan, students discuss the liquid, solid, and gas combination.
Curated OER
Where's the Period in the Periodic Tables?
Students investigate the Periodic Table of Elements. The teacher is provided with the necessary background information to complete the lesson. Students practice matching the element symbol to its place on the chart.
Curated OER
Identification of Animals by Serum Electrophoresis
Students compare their unknown serum against a set of known serum standards and determine the animal source of their serum. They write a lab report to communicate their results.
Curated OER
Solids, Liquids, and Gases
Students explore the three main forms of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. They examine concrete examples of each, using their five senses and "experimenting" to find differences in them. They find pictures of each, cut them out and past...

ABOUT ALL YOU CAN EAT: Superfoods
Students trace back through time to see how the nutritional value of food consumed was enhanced. In this nutrients lesson students complete several activities that show the mass of food, and its PH value.
Curated OER
Examining Spectra
High schoolers examine the spectra with the use of light while constructing their own spectroscope. They make observations about the colors and visible wavelengths of light and then conduct classroom discussions. As an extension students...
Curated OER
Fish and Oxygen
Pupils explore what factors affect population dynamics, identify factors affecting fish populations, and use Stella to model how dissolved oxygen affects fish populations.
Curated OER
DNA Isolation from Onion
Students apply measurement skills using the metric system. They explain the process of isolating DNA from other cell contents. They apply knowledge of cell structure to explain the process of isolating DNA.
Curated OER
What Does Greatest Common Factor Mean to Me?
Pupils see a demonstration of the concept of factors through modeling. They do an activity that help them explain further the concept of common factors and greatest common factor.
Curated OER
Chemical Volcano
Students observe a demonstration performed by the teacher. They examine of a series of acid/base reactions and discover how various indicators work.
Curated OER
Physical Habitat of a Stream
Students measure in metric units and use a stopwatch, calculator. They collect data with minimal instructions after the initial pre-activity briefing, then record data in the data sheets provided.
Curated OER
Elements Found in Living Things
In this elements worksheet, students review the most common elements found in living things. Students color in two pictures with the percentages of the elements found in that living thing.
Curated OER
Acid-Base Calculations
In this acid-base worksheet, students calculate the pH of given solutions and determine if given solutions are acids, bases, or neutral. This worksheet has 3 graphic organizers and 4 problems to solve.
