Chemical Bonding: Soap Making Lab
This lab is part of the Chemical Bonding unit that uses the chemistry of soap to introduce the social justice question: "Should soap be considered a basic human right?" Students can use this lab to make soap and sell them to raise money for a charity, or students can make the soap to give away to a shelter in need. This is an excellent way to make chemistry relevant, relatable and culturally responsive.

Katherine Johnson and the Math (and Science) of Trajectories
This activity highlights the importance of the work of African American women like Catherine Johnson. It includes a read-aloud of the book Counting on Katherine and an activity demonstrating how trajectories can be altered using force and angle of motion. It would be a great addition to a unit on force and motion or a stand-alone activity.

Ice cream phase and temperature change lab
This is the student sheet I use to have students make ice cream in a bag. We do this at the end of our energy unit which discusses energy involved in phase and temperature changes. We also record these changes with temperature vs time graphs, heat calculations, and energy bar charts/ "LOL charts" (ASU modeling methods). This lab is fun can can be done in gallon sized bags, but I have found saving large plastic or metal containers ( dishwasher pod or coffee cans) work better.
