Chrome hydrate is used for eye shadow, make-up, Coast, Zest, and Lava soaps.
Chromic oxide is used for plastics, paints, and tennis court coatings.
The students will be chemists that will be using a periodic chart to determine the molecular weight of chromic oxide Cr2O3 and find the molecular weight of various words the teacher has made up for them to calculate. The teacher will begin the lesson with asking the students what they know about the plant Elementis Chromium. The teacher will inform the students of the background of Elementis Chromium. The teacher will demonstrate how to use a periodic table and how to calculate the weight of elements and molecules. The teacher will inform the students that they will be chemists conducting a project in calculating the molecular weight of various molecules and elements.
