Research Presentation: Insulators in the Home
Students research and write about the health effects of insulation materials used in the home.
Patterns and Trends
Students study PASCO’s Periodic Trend Cards to find patterns that help them reconstruct the periodic table.
Naming Ionic Compounds
Students perform a series of chemical reactions and name the precipitate formed in each.
Store Labels and Model Building
Students use the Molecular Model Set to build models of ingredients found on labels of household items.
Counting by Weighing
Students use the mole concept to estimate the mass and volume of one mole of beans based on a small sample of beans.
Molar Mass
Students use the Molecular Model Set to build models of compounds and determine the molar mass; students determine the moles of chalk used to write their...
Percent Composition of a Hydrate
Students determine the formula of a hydrate sample based on the mass lost when the sample is dehydrated.
Empirical Formula of Magnesium Oxide
Students add enough heat to a sample of magnesium to produce magnesium oxide, then analyze the product to determine its empirical formula.
Balancing Chemical Equations
Students use the Molecular Model Set to model the law of conservation of matter during chemical reactions.
Chemical Reactions
Students predict products of a series of chemical reactions and use a temperature, conductivity, and pH sensor to verify a chemical change.
