Students determine the amount of sugar in various types of gum. They chew a piece of gum until it loses its flavor and leave it to dry in order to weigh it and determine the amount of mass lost, and describe an experiment to determine...

Students conduct an experiment to determine the percentage of sugar in various types of gum. They weigh the gum after chewing it to determine the amount of mass lost from each piece of gum, analyze the data, and create a graph of the...

Learners identify the different steps in the scientific method. In this inquiry activity, students determine the mass of the gum after chewing it for sometime. They explain what happens to the lost mass.

Learners confirm the law of conservation of matter by weighing chewing gum before and after it is chewed.

Pupils investigate the ingredients and creation of chewing gum.  In this scientific method lesson, students make predictions about what will happen to the mass of a piece of gum as it is chewed by a human.  Pupils graph the...

Eighth graders explore and demonstrate the seven steps of the scientific method. They predict how much sugar is in chewing gum and test, analyze, and calculate the sugar content of gum.

Students research different types of bubble gum and identify the variables in them.  For this bubble gum lesson students design an investigation to test their hypothesis and graph their data. 

Young scholars find the percent composition of sugar in the gum. In this chemistry lesson, students calculate percent error from the experiment. They use dimensional analysis to convert between units.

Here is a terrific lesson for elementary schoolers on products that come from animals. In it, pupils discover that we get a lot more than just food from animals. After a class discussion and teacher-led demonstration, learners utilize...

You don't have to travel far to learn about rocks, just step outside, pick up a stone, and begin investigating. After taking a class walk around the school grounds collecting rocks, young scientists practice their skills of observation...

Students graph polynomial equations using different methods. In this algebra lesson, students identify the different ways the x and y values relate in a graph. They solve for x by finding the zero's of the polynomials.

Students explore polymer properties. In this lesson about polymers, students perform an experiment to understand polymers, their properties, and that they are formed from small molecules. Students role play pretending they are polymer...

Students use a shoe box to simulate what happens when candy gets between your teeth. In this teeth brushing lesson, students explore the importance of brushing your teeth. Students listen to Brush Your Teeth Please. Students recognize...

Students explain the basic concepts of polymerization. Students participate in a lab to create a crude preparation of carboxyl esterase and test its effectiveness in reducing the residual monomer in an emulsion such as paint.

Students investigate the by-products of wood and explore the wood products in their own environment. Products containing both cellulose and silvichemicals obtained from the trees are examined in this lesson.

Students explore the world of polymers. In this chemistry lesson, students make polymers and observe their properties. Follow-up questions and extension activities are included.

Learners explain the process of polymerization. In this chemistry lesson, students produce carboxylesterase in the lab. They test its effectiveness in removing the by-product odor.

Students participate in an activity that allows them to better get to know each other. In this inquiry lesson plan students use a psychomotor activity to better know their classmates.
