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.
Surface Tension
Students apply their understanding of intermolecular forces to explain observations of different water phenomena.
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...
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...
Hess's Law
Students use a temperature sensor to experimentally determine the heat of reaction for the formation of a compound.
Volume of a Gas
Students use a Pressure Sensor to quantify a visible pressure-volume relationship in a sample of matter.
Boyle's Law
Students use a pressure sensor to experimentally determine a mathematic expression of Boyle’s law.
Charles' Law
Students use a temperature sensor to experimentally determine the relationship between the temperature and volume of a gas.
