  1. Kim Smith STAO 2011 Crafty Chemistry ksmith@pickeringcollege.on.ca

  2. Plasticene

  3. Plasticene • Periodic trends activity • From previous edition of McGraw-Hill 11 Chemistry textbook • Given data of atomic radius, students model the data

  4. Rock, Paper, Scissors

  5. Rock, Paper, Scissors • Not a craft but a “crafty” way to increase student interaction • Class competition • Created an “activity series”

  6. Lollipops

  7. Lollipops

  8. Lollipops • Pre-holiday activity (day before March Break) • Effect of solute on boiling point • Can extend to effect of solute on freezing point

  9. Touchable Bubbles

  10. Touchable Bubbles Create 3D models of molecules

  11. Cookie Decorating • State requirements for each cookie such as amount of icing, number of each decoration, allow students to make them, eventually decoration will come to a halt demonstrating Limiting Reactant

  12. Cookie Decorating • Create an assembly line of cookie decorating, with required tasks at each station, eventually a backlog will occur demonstrating Rate Determining Step

  13. Polymer Fun Day

  14. Polymer Fun Day

  15. Spirograph

  16. Spirograph • Represents electron probability cloud

  17. Chemistry Crayons • Some of the names for the crayons are the technical chemical names and others are their common name

  18. Paper Marbling This procedure produces effects that are similar in design to stone – particularly marble. A variety of unique patterns can be created on the surface of the size.

  19. Paper Marbling • A more child friendly method uses tempera paint & shaving cream. Just spray some foamy shaving cream in a flat container. Add watery tempera paint, swirl to create designs. Lay the paper on top of the foam & press down gently. Lift up. Don’t worry if the foam looks messy. Scrape off the foam to reveal the image.
