The Matching Game

Students use a matching game to pair chemical compounds and their characteristics using a set of question cards.

Dart Gun Velocity

In this activity, students will find the muzzle velocity of a foam dart gun and predict its maximum range.

Chemicards

Using cards in a "Chemicard' deck, students determine which ionic compounds are most likely to form.

Projectile Tracker

Students use the Tracker software to analyze projectile motion to determine which equations fit the plots produced.
