Make your classroom electrifying with activities and information spanning chemistry and physics content. Everything from equilibrium to electricity and reactions to rocketry at your fingertips.
It’s all about the interactions among land, water, living organisms, the atmosphere, and beyond. Mine activities, information, and helpful hints for ESS.
Teach a class like forensic science where you have to apply physics, chemistry, and biology content? We have interdisciplinary activities and tips to help.
Brush up on the latest instructional strategies and pedagogy with information from our teaching partners, instructional designers, and academic consultants.
What's the Big Idea? Understanding the Laboratory Experience in the AP* Chemistry CurriculumIf you teach AP* Chemistry, you’re already aware, or need to be, that changes to the course curriculum are here, which means you’ll probably have to change your classroom instruction. To help relieve your anxiety, here’s an overview of the course revisions, some important dates to remember, and 2 ways Carolina can help to ensure your success during this transition. View »
What's the Weakest Link? Helping AP® Chemistry Students Ask the Right QuestionsAP® Chemistry: What’s the weakest link? Or play the chemistry dating game: Will they hook up or break up? Students develop an analysis plan for identifying bond types. Use our featured kit as a starting point for independent student research. See a sample student question sheet from this kit’s activities. View »
Periodic Table MysteryP is less dense than S. S is an alkali metal. E is a noble gas. In this activity, students generate a periodic table from clues and predict the missing properties of several elements based on the elements’ locations in the table.

Understanding the Periodic TableLooking for inexpensive ways to help students understand and appreciate how much information the periodic table provides? In these 2 activities, students discover for themselves several trends associated with the elements on the periodic table. View »
Density: An Intensive Property of MatterIn this investigation, students collect mass and volume data for different samples of the same audience and develop a formula for density based on slope calculations. View »
A New Approach to Teaching Atomic TheoryFor chemistry teacher Siobhan Julian, teaching the history of atomic theory by lecture “was dry and tedious and boring for everyone involved.” Then she took a fresh approach—one that focuses on doing science to learn science history. View »
Teaching Chemistry with ManipulativesManipulatives can help students (especially visual and tactile learners) understand abstract concepts by allowing them to “see” a chemical structure or process. We offer 2 ideas for creating manipulatives and how to use them. View »
