Density
In Integrating Chemistry and Algebra II, page 3
Students will determine the density of two unknown liquids by collecting mass and volume data. Each group of students will be given a different volume of the liquids to measure, they will combine their data to create a graph. Using the graph students will determine the density of the two liquids by calculating the slope of the two lines. Students will also use a graphing calculator to determine the slope of the two lines.

Integrating Chemistry and Algebra II
This unit links chemistry concepts to algebra II skills. Students will use systems of equations to solve problems and matrices to balance chemical reactions.
Format: lesson plan (multiple pages)
Life's percents
Students will gather data from their own lives to use in calculating percents. They will measure parts of their bodies (head, leg, neck, etc.), complete a class survey that asks information about themselves, and use a pay stub to find percentages of deductions.
