Taking measurements, performing dimensional analysis, determining temperature, density, and so on are all things that cannot be done without math
The first section reviews measurements in metric.
Start your year teaching chemistry on the right foot and find out where your students are in their math skills. Everyone knows you can not do chemistry well without a math background. d. The tests have bunnies on them to help students not be so nervous doing math. This lesson contains 2 tests. You can use one before and the other one after
In order to excel in chemistry, you must understand unit conversions, significant figures, summation notations, probability and statistics, exponents and logarithms, proportions, and concentrations. In most cases, these subjects overlap, so they are frequently discussed together

The metric system is a decimal system based on the meter, liter, and gram as units of length, capacity, and weight or mass. The system was first proposed by the French astronomer and mathematician Gabriel Mouton (1618–94) in 1670 and was standardized in France under the Republican government in the 1790s. Unlike the English system which has multiple units for length (inch, foot, yard, mile), the metric only has one – the meter (m). Similarly, there are four basic metric units: ● Length – meter (m) ● Mass – gram (g) ● Volume – liter (l or L) ● Time – second (s) Base unit values can be modified (made larger or smaller) through the use of prefixes (ex. kilo, 1000; hecto, 100; deka, 10; deci, 0.1; centi, 0.01; milli, 0.001).

Teach physical and chemical change thru the science of “steganography” in this easy-to-implement yet highly engaging lab. No chemistry experience is required. However, this lab is a great addition to working with your history department to make the Revolutionary War come alive. George Washington used this technique to send coded messages throughout the war. Students will discover that the juice of lemons contains carbon which will enable them to write a secret message in the same manner as the Continental Army did in the 1770s.

Students design and create containers that will keep one standard-sized ice cubes in their solid form for a set period of time. The winner is the person who creates the container that keeps the ice cube solid for the longest period of time.
Ribbon Templates are included for first, second, and third prize
After the actual “Great Ice Cube Melt” students will analyze what worked and what did not
Take the classic STEM challenge to the next level. Question Can you build a better cooler that can hold ice colder longer? This lab is an application of the engineering process. Also, includes
Engineering
Geometry
Ratios
Critical thinking
Materials are common items around the home
No prep for you but lots of science for your students.
Students learn and apply concepts in thermodynamics and energy—mainly convection, conduction, and radiation— to solve a challenge. This is accomplished by splitting students into teams and having them follow the engineering design process to design and build a small insulated box, with the goal of keeping an ice cube frozen
Need an engaging activity to investigate UV radiation and its effect on your student health.
Keep your young scientists safe this summer with the knowledge gathered with this fun lab. Your students will be surprised to see white beads change color with exposure to UV light. Great to encourage the use of sunscreen. This lab is perfect for end-of-year, camps or part of your health lessons.
I have also used it during my unit on Astronomy
