Inquiry Challenge: Can you make a dense object float?

Created by

This is a fun inquiry challenge for students who understand that more dense objects will sink in water. In this challenge, students get some background information on density, then create a test plan (procedure) to see if they can cut a dense object small enough to float in order to learn more about surface tension in water. Many students have experience with surface tension and intuitively know that if an object is small enough, it won't sink. This inquiry investigation will help them explore

Surface Tension with Adhesion and Cohesion

Created by

Physics and Chemistry Unbound

Cohesion (attraction force) between like molecules creates Surface Tension which allows some objects to rest on the surface of a liquid rather than floating. Adhesion is the attraction between unlike particles and explains many henomena like blood flow and tree water transport.p71pgs/16 made in class videos

Build and Comparing Graphite & Diamond Structures Understanding Molecules

Created by

This activity allows students to “make” a molecule to connect what they see to what they feel. This activities purpose is to solidify the idea that molecules can have the same formula but have different properties caused by their structure. Understanding molecular models is essential and fundamental to all chemistry. This activity can be done individually or in pairs. This activity can use other forms of reusable materials such as clay. Toothpicks can be substituted from angel hair macaroni. Th
