Chemical Reactions - Skittles Modeling Project
This is a hands-on activity where students can visualize, using Skittles as atoms, the concept of balancing chemical reactions. Many students get thrown off by the fact that products often look, smell and/or taste different than the reactants. This project serves to provide visual proof that despite outward appearances, all of the atoms from the reactants are present in the products. This lesson plan is designed to take a span of 2-3 days, and is generally best done in groups.

In this lesson plan students will show and cultivate their creativity while using the concepts of math and technology by designing their dream house. Materials: Computer with internet access for
Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
This lesson is a fantastic way to introduce physical and chemical properties. It includes hands-on stations activities. In this lesson, students will be able to really see the properties of matter at
