Activities
- Do Mr Guch's "Moles
Worksheet" with answers
 .
- Do Mr. Guch's "Molar Mass
Worksheet" which has
the answers.
- Do Mr Guch's "Moles
Molecules, and Grams" and "Mole
Calculation"
worksheets. Both have answers.
- Have students do the
"Chemical Quantities"
 crossword
puzzle.
- Try the "Chemical
Quantities" wordsearch
with answers .
- Try the online
Stoichiometry "wordsearch" or "concentration" Java game.
- And my favorite--have
students use stoichiometry to solve a murder mystery in
ChemCollective's program, "Mixed
Reception." The program is free and can be run from a
CD. With my class, it took 2 1/2 blocks in our computer
lab. Since our lab doesn't have speakers for every computer, I
showed all the videos to the whole group using a projector like the
Boxlight.
- Try "Using Balanced Chemical Equations-grams to grams" to
solve problems with mass relationships in chemical equations. Or
attempt to solve mole relationships in chemical reactions problems
with "Using Balanced Chemical Equations-Moles to
moles."
- Have students do this "MOLEcular Mathematics" worksheet.
- Show "The Mole Concept" slide presentation.
-
Play Michael
Offutt's "Mole Song"
shown with additional lyrics.
 If you happen to be covering this topic during
March Madness, you might want to try "Scooby-doo and the Case of
Molarity Mayhem" with your class. It was
contributed by Janine Towle of the NSTA Listserve.
Labs
- Try the "Understanding the Mole" lab.
- Do the "Percent Sugar in
Bubble Gum" lab and
have students calculate the molar mass of the sugar, convert the mass
of the sugar to moles, and determine the number of molecules of sugar
in the gum.
- Have students do the "Determining the Number of Moles and Molecules Used Up In a
Burning Candle" lab.
- Or try "The Determination of the Mass of a Product of a Chemical
Reaction" lab.
- Do "The Volume of 1 Mole
of Hydrogen Gas"
lab.
- Or try "The Determination
of Relative Atomic Mass"
lab.
- Do the "Molar Volume of a Gas" lab.
- Try the "Finding the
Formula of an Oxide of Copper"
lab.
- Do the "The Stoichiometry
of S'mores"
lab.
- In "The Stoichiometry of
Cooking" by Lisa
Morine, student's in each group vary the amount of one ingredient for
baking cupcakes to see how it affects the final product. Ms
Morine includes a teacher's guide .
- In this "Periodic Table
Hopscotch Laboratory" students
calculate the quantities of chalk used on a sidewalk. It
includes a teacher's guide .
- Try the "Percentage of
Water in Popcorn"
lab.
- Do this "What's the
Concentration of Kool-Aid?"
lab.
- Or try this exploration
of molarity "How Do You Like Your Kool aid?"
lab.
- In the "Mole-to-Mole Relationships in a Chemical Reaction"
lab, students carry out a reaction between metallic copper atoms and
silver ions in solution to produce copper ions in solution and
metallic silver atoms.
- This
"Molecular Mass Determination" lab
determine the mass of the butane in a butane lighter.
