Discovering Molarity
Students get to discover the relationship between solutes and solvents in relation to concentration. As an inquiry based lab, students will mix their own concentrations of Kool-Aid or other powdered drink mix with water and using mass by difference, calculate how much water and drink mix was used. After mixing these solutions, students will then drink and rate their solutions. This lab allows students to learn and practice molarity calculations through lab experimentation.

Students who have been studying logarithms can apply them using a chemistry lab to discover the pH of acetic acid (white vinegar) and even compare this to other acids.
Students will discover the relationship between mass and volume in relation to density through an inquiry lab. Students will take mass and volume data of several different solid substances and compare
