Modeling Limiting Reactants
Students use the Molecular Model Set to simulate reaction scenarios where there are limiting and excess reactants, and ideal reactions where all reactants...
Determining Limiting Reactants
Students use a Pressure Sensor to experimentally determine the limiting and excess reactant when the amount of one reactant is varied and analyze data...
Project: Design an Airbag
Students must engineer an airbag that inflates and uses materials according to a set of design and performance constraints; a temperature and pressure...
Research Enhancement: Airbags and Consumers
Students research and write about the chemistry and function of airbags used as either wearable protection...
Isotopic Composition
Students work with model “element samples” to learn the characteristics of isotopes.
What is a Wave
Students model the relationship between wave frequency and wavelength by observing waves with different amounts of energy.
Light Energy
Students use different colored LEDs to determine which frequency of light transfers the most energy to a glow-in-the-dark object.
Flame Tests
Students use flame test observations to identify an unknown compound.
Types of Bonding
Students use a Conductivity Sensor to predict the type(s) of bonding between atoms in solutions made with different substances.
Lewis structures and VSEPR
Students use the Molecular Model Set to study the relationship between the bonding capacity of individual atoms and 3D molecular structure.
