The Newton Tree Science

Hands on activity where students are given 25 various chemical reactions and must sort them into the 5 types of chemical reactions: single replacement, double replacement, combustion, decomposition, synthesis. Reactions come in balanced form and unbalanced form for extra balancing practice if needed. Activity takes about 15-30 minutes depending on how familiar students are with types of reactions.

This is an inquiry based virtual lab that uses 3 different PhET simulations to guide students thinking into what a magnetic field is, what happens when a magnet is moved in a coil, what is happening in circuits when current flows, and how to change the magnetic field in a circuit. Great for introducing electromagnetism, magnetic fields, and circuits or for reinforcing ideas later in the unit. Students will have to navigate between the following 3 PhET simulations: Faraday's Electromagnetic LabC

PowerPoint on electromagnetism that defines current, electricity, voltage, magnets and magnetic fields, the effects of moving magnets and currents, electromagnets, tools and sensors for electricity and magnetism, and guiding questions. The notes are guided (fill in the blank) which allow for students to focus on the content and not copying all the information down. Pictures help reinforce ideas presented.

Ocean Acidification is a 4 page Claim - Evidence - Reasoning (CER) lab design used to support students critical thinking, problem solving skills, and NGSS skills. Students use seashells and chalk to represent coral reefs and vinegar to represent ocean acidification. Students observe, model, research, make a claim, provide evidence, and reasoning for the experiment. Lab takes 3 days to really see the results but can take longer to further see the effects of acids on calcium carbonate. Includes an

Complete unit on light as a wave and a particle. Unit breaks down the concept of wave-particle duality for students who tend to not be as motivated as honors and AP students. Unit is a 10 day coverage of resonance, diffraction, interference, reflection, photoelectric effect, the double slit experiment and the how each supports the wave and/or particle model. Supports Common Core ELA standards with reading and writing. A fun little activity to do with the kids before even giving them the packet

These questions are based off the article from How Stuff Works - Electromagnet. Questions focus on electromagnetism, how a metal becomes a magnet, what creates an electromagnet and the technological benefits of electromagnets. Great for sub days!

Displacement vs. Time, Velocity vs. Time, Acceleration vs. Time graphs and corresponding scenario that students have to match up together. Has 12 sets of graphs total with 4 easy, 4 medium, and 4 difficult sets of graphs. Supports *Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and **AP ® Physics standards: HS-PS2-1: Analyze data to support the claim that Newton’s second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration.

Interactive and fun introduction to Le Chatelier's principle that helps address the preconceived notions about chemical equilibrium: That equilibrium assumes equal amounts of product and reactantsA chemical reaction at equilibrium has stopped.That equilibrium can only be approached in one direction.Students first answer some pre-activity questions based on the above misconceptions. Next, students gather on different sides of the classroom and throw paper wads at each other for 5 seconds. The stu

Four interactives focusing on polar vs. nonpolar bonds, vapor pressure, difference between the bonding strength of hydrogen, dipole-dipole, and London dispersion forces, one on just hydrogen bonds, and dipole-dipole vs. London dispersion forces. Includes *NGSS aligned claim, evidence, and reasoning analysis for three of the interactives and six pages of inquiry questioning. Teacher answer key included. These virtual labs are included in my intermolecular forces unit.Students will need a compu

The intermolecular forces case study is a 8 page analysis of data on the melting point, boiling point, vapor pressure, volatility, and surface tension (bulk properties) of 16 different substances. Students group the substances into 4 groups representing the 4 intermolecular forces; ionic, dipole-dipole, hydrogen, London dispersion. The students then graph the data using regular and logarithmic graphs, justify their reasoning from grouping certain substances together, completing reading and que

PhET virtual lab on pendulums. Students look at the velocity and acceleration of a pendulum and how gravity and the length of the pendulum affects the period of a pendulum. Students then use what they have learned to design an experiment using a pendulum to calculate the gravity on an unknown planet. Includes answer key, PDF and PowerPoint versions.
