What is a Wave

Students model the relationship between wave frequency and wavelength by observing waves with different amounts of energy.

High School / Chemistry

Light Energy

Students use different colored LEDs to determine which frequency of light transfers the most energy to a glow-in-the-dark object.

High School / Chemistry

Flame Tests

Students use flame test observations to identify an unknown compound.

High School / Chemistry

Types of Bonding

Students use a Conductivity Sensor to predict the type(s) of bonding between atoms in solutions made with different substances.

High School / Chemistry

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.

High School / Chemistry

Surface Tension

Students apply their understanding of intermolecular forces to explain observations of different water phenomena.

High School / Chemistry

Evaporative Cooling

Students use a temperature sensor to determine the evaporation rates of different compounds and use the Molecular Model Set to help relate differences...

High School / Chemistry

State Changes

Students predict the shape of a phase change diagram for water when it moves from the solid to liquid to gas phase, then use a temperature sensor to construct...

High School / Chemistry

Hess's Law

Students use a temperature sensor to experimentally determine the heat of reaction for the formation of a compound.

High School / Chemistry

Volume of a Gas

Students use a Pressure Sensor to quantify a visible pressure-volume relationship in a sample of matter.
