- Amazing liquid conductor
- Students will mix a variety of liquid solutions together to see if they will light a light bulb in a electrical circuit. They will be able to identify liquid electrical conductors and nonconductors. Also they will be able to identify that liquid solutions that contain a noticeable amount of acid or salt are good conductors of electricity. Each group of students will make a closed circuit to test their solutions.

- By Martha Martin.
- Atomic spectra and the Bohr model
- Students view continuous spectra from incandescent and fluorescent lights and line spectra of selected elements. Students relate energy to frequency of light seen in the spectra. The presence of only certain lines in atomic spectra is related to Bohr's model of the atom. In a second experiment, students determine electron energies in the hydrogen atom.

- Convection currents
- Students work together to show convection currents in the air. They construct a paper propeller that will be caused to spin as a result of the transfer of heat energy through the air.

- Magic water and convection
- This lesson will give students a demonstration of how heat affects water particles.

- Stay still
- In this lesson students will learn about stability. They will design and build an earthquake-proof house that takes into account the forces acting upon it and the materials with which it will be built. The house will be tested in a “shake table.” Students will be assessed by the product itself as well as their analysis of the results of the test.

- Why does chemistry matter in my life?
- This series of high school chemistry lesson plans addresses questions about the relevance of chemistry in everyday life.
- Format: lesson plan (multiple pages)
