Chemistry Cooking Video Cumulative STEM Project for Middle School High School
This chemistry cooking video project is a fan favorite in my classroom. I use this as a cumulative assessment at the end of my chemistry unit. Students will find a recipe for any meal/baked good they desire and will create a recipe procedure for that meal/baked good using 20+ chemistry terms. Then, students will create a "how to" cooking video using the typed recipe procedure as their "script". I usually encourage students to try making a dinner for their family! Parents love this!

Virtual Lab: Simulating Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment (Nuclear Radiation)
Introduction:Ernest Rutherford’s atomic theory describes the atom with a central positive nucleus surrounded by negative orbiting electrons. This model suggested that most of the mass of the atom was contained in the small nucleus, and that the rest of the atom was mostly empty space. Rutherford came to this conclusion following the results of his famous gold foil experiment. This experiment involved the firing of radioactive particles through minutely thin gold metal foils and detecting them us
