Alka-Seltzer Lab: Investigating Partial Motion, Kinetic Energy, & Dissolve Rate
The NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS are ALL about students interweaving the disciplinary core ideas, cross-cutting concepts, and science practices so that lessons and activities are more open inquiry based and allow for high order critical thinking skills. This activity hits all three! Alka-Seltzer tablets fizz furiously when dropped in water. In order for this chemical reaction to occur, particles within the tablets and water must physically come into contact with one another. Anything that

Scientific Method Lab — Coin Drop Challenge: Variables & Hypothesis
You might think that you can’t fit many drops of water on the top surface of a penny, but you may be surprised. In this experiment, you’ll observe how many drops of tap water can fit on a coin, and then see if there is a difference between regular water and soapy water. QuestionHow many drops of water can fit on a single penny? Is there a difference between tap water and soapy water?Prediction: I think that a penny can hold _____ drops of tap water.

Air Pressure Vacuum Lab — Expanding Gases & Boyle's Law Demo
This lab provides a vivid, visual demonstration of Boyles’s Law, showing how the volume of a gas increases as the surrounding pressure decreases. Activity DescriptionThe Air Pressure Lab uses a vacuum chamber to simulate high-altitude or low-pressure environments. When students use the hand pump, they are removing air molecules from the "bell jar," which decreases the external air pressure. Because the air molecules trapped inside the balloon, bubble wrap, or film canister are still pushing o

Simple Machines, Fixed/Movable Pulleys, Work, Mechanical Advantage (Word & PDF)
This a a basic activity to demonstrate the mechanical advantage of pulleys. Students can see that a fixed pulley helps only by allowing you to pull down with gravity in order to lift an object up. Movable pulleys double the amount of line pulled and decrease the effort required to lift an object. Both pulleys add friction, thereby increasing the overall amount of work done.
See the list of supplies. You may be able to make substitutions for some objects, but you will need several pulleys, strin

Determining the PH of Everyday Substances and the effect of Water dilution.
With the use of virtual lab instrument students will determine the PH of normal house hold and physiological substances. Students will then dilute each of the substances with an equal amount of water and record the new PH. Students will then calculate the % difference from the new PH and log whether their is an increase or decrease in PH. Students often make the mistake of misstating the increase in PH always toward acid. This exercise will help them to not make the mistake in the future. In ad

Matter and Energy Lab Sheets - Alberta Science 6
Matter & Energy: The particle model of matter states that heating matter causes particles to move faster. As particles move faster, the attractive forces between them weaken and the space between them increases. The particle model of matter states that cooling matter causes particles to move slower. As particles slow down, the attractive forces between them increase and the space between them decreases. A phase change is a change from one state of matter to another. During a phase change, the

Conservation of Mass Investigation — Proving Mass is Conserved
Conservation of Mass LabNo matter what, matter cannot be created or destroyed. This simple statement is the Law of Conservation of Mass. Basically, the law states that in a chemical reaction, whatever mass you had before is still there afterwards, just in a new form. However, knowing this law, how can we make sense of the following observations?
