39 Drop pH Scale
The purpose of this experiment is to produce a standard pH color chart to be used in determining the pH of several household products.
pH & Robots
This lesson will introduce the concept of pH and pOH that are required to be recognized by students for the SOL. Water quality test will be incorporated for students to gain valuable laboratory skills and on-site laboratory skills using traditional methods and probeware methods. Traditional laboratory and probeware methods are required to be understood by the students for the SOL. STEM will be incorporated by the use of Lego robots. This lesson requires students to be outside of the classroom at a water source near the school.
Introduction to Polyatomic Ions by Water Quality & Robots
This lesson will introduce the common polyatomic ions that are required to be recognized by students for the SOL. Water quality test will be incorporated for students to gain valuable laboratory skills and on-site laboratory skills using traditional methods and probeware methods. Traditional laboratory and probeware methods are required to be understood by the students for the SOL. STEM will be incorporated by the use of Lego robots. This lesson requires students to be outside of the classroom at a water source near the school.
Nuclear Wasteland Half-Life
This lesson will introduce concepts in nuclear chemistry using the Mindstorm Lego Robots. Gamma, alpha, beta, and electron capture decays are covered. The mathematics of half life will be discussed and calculated from various radioactive sources. Nuclear decays and half life are concepts that students must master for the chemistry end of course SOL.
