LAB: Heats of Reactions, Calorimeters & Hess's Law
A lab that requires students to engineer and design their own calorimeter the experimentally test the heat of three different reactions (1. NaOH & HCl, 2. Zn & HCl, 3. Mg & HCl). The baseline design uses a thermometer, test tube, Styrofoam cup and water. Students are expected to engineer and design a more efficient calorimeter to more accurate capture heat. The lab also requires students to calculate the theoretical heat of reaction using Hess's Law to determine the percent error and a

Calculating Speed and Velocity Lab
Evaluate the relationship between speed and mass by racing weighted and unweighted hot wheel cars down an elevated meterstick. Each group of students will develop a hypothesis statement supporting whether adding weight to a hot wheel will increase or decrease its speed. Students will then measure the time it takes a hot wheel to travel down an elevated meterstick at different lengths. This experiment is then repeated with 5 washers stacked and wrapped to the hot wheel to increase the mass. Final

Lab Activity - Relating Pitch and Frequency in Sound Waves - Hands On
DescriptionThis lab activity will prepare students to compare how the pitch and frequency of longitudinal sound waves varies in musical instruments. Students will discover that as pitch increases, the frequency of the waves increases; as pitch decreases, the frequency of the waves decreases. Each section of this lab includes questions about the factors that change: string length, thickness, tension, and the amount of air in a chamber.

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.

Creating a Conservation of Momentum Problem
In this lab projects students will make their own Conservation of Momentum Problem and prove it through math and draw it on a poster. This project helps them better understand how Momentum MUST be conserved throughout the problem as they research and create their own real life situation. My students love doing this one each and every year. It gives them the chance to look up their own information and draw conclusion from their own problem. This can work with any grade level.

Forces - Low Budget Drag Races
This is a simple, low-budget, Newton's 2nd law lab. The objectives are to show the students that increasing force on an object increases its acceleration and that increasing the mass of an object decreases its acceleration. Each objective prompts students to make a prediction before doing the lab and the analysis questions ask them to reflect on their results. Detailed, step-by-step instructions, data tables, and grids for graph-making are included.

Density Trend of the Carbon Group Elements Lab + Lab Report
This resource is a step-by-step guide for high school chemistry students navigating writing their first lab report. Students will start by researching background information on density, the carbon group elements, and periodic trends. Students will then make a prediction about the density trend associated with the carbon group. (Does it increase or decrease as you go down the group?) Students will then design an experiment with their lab partners to test their hypothesis. For this lab

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

Inclined Plane Lab | Apparent Weight & Normal Force at an Angle
In this hands-on, fully-editable investigation, students explore how the apparent weight (normal force) of a mass changes as the surface beneath it is tilted. By attaching a kitchen scale or lab balance to a clipboard and placing a mass on it, students can observe and record how the scale reading decreases with increasing angle. The lab reinforces the concept that the normal force is a component of gravitational force, and helps students visually and numerically connect their measurements to
