The instructor guide is as shown in the preview file. The actual presentation version you will teach from looks the same, except

The "Chemistry Quint-a-sense" series is a fun way to involve all five senses in the learning process.

This download is week 24 in the Chemistry Quint-a-sense series, and is meant to correlate best with the last week in February. You will get a sharable mini-lesson, which can be presented over the course of 3-10 minutes, and remembered for

This is a compilation of two mini-lessons on the value of Pi. Students are guided through 2 hands-on activities to discover the value of pie. They then apply what they learned to a real pie*.

Students will "discover" pi themselves. *real pie not included in download. WHAT WILL I GET? You will get a PDF with the Printables and Instructor Guide. You will get a

This very brief mini-lesson is creatively accompanied by an actual Treat of "Grams" and "Atomic mass units". Students will see just how big a mole is and learn why Mole day (October 23rd) is celebrated. - > [Mass in Grams and Atomic Mass units is only the same when you have a mole’s worth of stuff. (10^23)....And your instructor will only give you both “Grams” and “Atomic” units on Mole day (10-23)] Although the lesson is most appropriately shared on the school day nearest October 23rd, i

This is something I prepared and presented for grade school students who were visiting my high school on a field trip. It is a fun presentation appropriate and usable for a wide range of grades either on-site or while doing visits to other sites/schools.
