Lab Activity: Flame Test
Flame Test - Electrons, LightThis is a much easier way to do the flame test lab experiment. Usually most experiments have you use a nichrome wire and acid cleaning each time a new test is to be completed. With my method, it will take you only half as much time to complete the lab. This lab includes background information that discusses the usages of the flame test, how electrons emit colored light, and explains the difference between the ground state and excited state of an atom.Included:•Bac

This is a centripetal force lab that uses a toy in the form of a flying pig. A version of the Flying Pig lab is provided by one of the science equipment providers, but my students found difficult to follow mathematically. This is a rewritten version with clearer instructions for measurements and calculations. You will need Flying Pig toys or similar, but you can even get by with a single one in the middle of the room.

Free Body Diagram Cut-and-Paste
A colleague had a similar activity that I “stole” this idea from. It’s such a great way to have students “play” with free-body diagrams. I tell students to do their best and try it on their own first, then we come together as a class and discuss our results. Every time they are able to get the correct answers without any “lecture” from me! That’s VERY teacher friendly!

Gum Experiment and The Mole Concept
This is a fun experiment after the introduction of the mole concept and the students just love it.The lab will measure the amount of sugar found in a sample of gum. This value is used to calculate the percentage of dissolved sugar, the moles and the number of molecules present in the sample using Avogadro's number. A comparison is made between sucrose gum and aspartame gum.
