Chemical Bonding: Soap Making Lab
This lab is part of the Chemical Bonding unit that uses the chemistry of soap to introduce the social justice question: "Should soap be considered a basic human right?" Students can use this lab to make soap and sell them to raise money for a charity, or students can make the soap to give away to a shelter in need. This is an excellent way to make chemistry relevant, relatable and culturally responsive.

Black History Periodic Table
All too often, we come face-to-face with reality behind the importance of knowing our history - or the lack thereof. Outside of the popular names mentioned in our textbooks or highlighted on our television screens, many of the students we service aren't familiar with those that paved the way for us today. With that being said, I decided to take my spin on one of Chemistry's beloved treasures and present "The Periodic Table of Black History" which has been set up in the hallway outside of my room

Ice cream phase and temperature change lab
This is the student sheet I use to have students make ice cream in a bag. We do this at the end of our energy unit which discusses energy involved in phase and temperature changes. We also record these changes with temperature vs time graphs, heat calculations, and energy bar charts/ "LOL charts" (ASU modeling methods). This lab is fun can can be done in gallon sized bags, but I have found saving large plastic or metal containers ( dishwasher pod or coffee cans) work better.
