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.

This is the first lesson in a series of four that are designed to help guide students to design and implement their own independent STEM research project.
In this lesson, students use the Kepler’s Laws PhET Simulation to collect data on the period and average radius of the planetary orbits. They graph and analyze that data to derive Kepler’s 3rd Law.
This lesson uses a PhET Simulation to allow students to collect data on the orbits of planets around our Sun, then summarize and share their results. It is designed for students in Grades 9-12.
