Learn a simple and easy high yield strategy to help ALL of your students learn how to find mass relationships between reactants and products. In a single lesson, you can help even your most mathematically challenged students understand and remember the steps. This strategy can then be used to make your lessons on limiting reagents and percent yield about the concepts and not just the math. Then we will shift to VSEPR, and you'll learn how to teach your students all 6 molecular geometries listed in the TEKS in mere minutes. Once they have learned this kinesthetic strategy, students will be able to differentiate and identify each of the molecular geometries. Each strategy will be completely modeled, not just explained, and each participant will be given access to all the resources they will need to implement these strategies immediately.
Chemistry plays an important role in all of the arts! Be both chemist and artist as you explore connections between visual art and chemistry in this hands-on presentation. Participants will explore and use chemistry concepts to create works of art that will wow their students.
How do we teach topics such as electron configurations—that were graduate school material a generation ago—so that high school students can learn and understand them? Walk away with some effective ways to teach the structure of the atom. Using a user-friendly spectrophotometer, explore how light interacts with dyes. Then use unique spectrum cards to show how atoms, color, and spectra are related, making a conceptual bridge between a core chemical technology—making dyes—and the fundamental structure of the atom.
LAB-AIDS offers full year curriculum for middle school science, biology and chemistry. We also specialize in easy to teach, hands-on supplemental labs that come complete with materials, student sheets and lesson plans.
Teaching different types of bonds might be challenging but when it includes fun games and activities it will motivate the students and encourge them to be active participants. Teachers will go home with fun activities and puzzles to use with the students to help them undertsand the concept of bonding and periodic table. come join the fun and get energized to teach bonding and periodic table.
Captivate your students attention in the Chemistry classroom with the ipad! 21st century learners are eager to see technology incorporated in the classroom. This one hour presentation will provide you with some FREE methods to integrate the ipad in lab, lecture and projects.
REQUIREMENTS: Participants should bring their ipad with the following apps loaded: NearPod, NoteAnytime, NOVA Elements, Socrative (Student and Teacher App), Gas Laws HD Lite, Nuclear, Nuclear Sites
Explore the concept of how pressure and volume relate to each other as properties of gases using syringes (no needles!) and marshmallows. Investigate the formula for Boyle's Law: math integration. Handouts provided.
These super fun and exciting chemistry demonstrations including dry ice, color changes and much more... can be used by all teachers to get a classroom of students excited about the amazing world of chemistry. These easy and practical demonstrations will truly show your students what we already know- that science is fun!
