Collect the gases by downward displacement of water. Create a poster or video clip report of the chemical. Information about the name and formula, the properties and uses, the sources, how it is produced from its raw materials, and the value to society of the chemical should be included. Below is the ingredients list taken from the back of a package of eye shadow. Determine the chemical formulas and the purpose in the eye shadow for as many of the chemicals as possible.
Some students enjoy making and using flash cards.
Put a formula for a molecule or ion on one side of the card and the name of the species on the other. 3-D models of molecules or ions to hang from the classroom ceiling. These models can be made from commercial kits or be homemade. A label including the name and formula of the species can be strung on the string which supports the model. The posters could be colour-coded to indicate correspondence between poster and model or they could be left for the viewers to figure out.
