I have taught significant figures for years because I was told to teach it. It wasn’t until I developed this activity that I felt like I was able to better show students what significant figures mean in terms of precision and measurement. It also helps distinguish between precision & accuracy, as those terms get confused all of the time! In part 1, students use fake rulers to measure various lines and discuss precision and accuracy. Student then use the information to come up with definitions

This is an interactive google slide show that allow students to first assemble ice cream cones and then ammonia with images. This is to introduce the concept of limiting and excess reactions in a chemistry stoichiometry unit. This is conceptual based, and not heavy on the calculations. This is similar to a nuts & bolts or s'more activity for limiting reactants. Includes a suggested answer key.
