Unit Conversion (Unit Factor Method) Challenge Stations
I believe unit conversions / stoichiometry / dimensional analysis is one of the most important skills to master. It is so useful in real life, whether traveling internationally, cooking, building, sewing, etc. After the 50th worksheet and word problem, I decided to make activities and stations for my students to practice unit conversions. Each station is set up for a different “real life” scenario that could involve unit conversion. You can modify the scenarios to fit the materials you have, but

Distances in Solar System and Universe
This is a two for one activity set. Both of them involve taking distances in space and scaling them down to sizes observable on Earth. The first activity calculates sizes of the planets based on shrinking the Earth down to a 1cm diameter and then showing the spacing of the planets on a football field. The students will also calculate the mass distribution in the solar system between the planets and the sun. The second activity takes distances in the universe and scales them down to the Earth.

Lab: Testing the Activity Series
This is a multiple concepts lab that has a lot of 'wow' factor for students as metals disappear and new ones appear. It is in miniscale so you that don't use that much of your chemicals. For 250 students, I generally use up: 20 g Fe, three 12"x12" sheets of Al foil, 12" of Mg ribbon, 20g Zn powder, and 200 ml of 1M CuSO4 solution. Equipment: large test tubes, 0.001 accuracy balance, long glass thermometer, small beaker, graduated cylinder, timer (or let them use cell phones)
