Flinn At-Home Lab 1–Chemical Reactions (L1)
Flinn At-Home Lab 2–Acid-Base Chemistry (L2)
Flinn At-Home Lab 3–Chemical Bonding (L3)
Flinn At-Home Lab 4–Properties of Materials (L4)
Flinn At-Home Lab 5–Solutions (L5)
Flinn At-Home Lab 6–Titrations (L6)
Flinn At-Home Lab 7–Kinetics and Equilibria (L7)
In this lab students will view examples of fast and slow reactions and develop a procedure to study the effects of concentration and temperature on reaction speed. Students will learn how kinetics and equilibria can be applied to better understand processes in the natural world.
Teacher Materials (Log-In required)
Student Documents
Flinn At-Home Lab 8-Types of Chemical Reactions
Flinn At-Home Lab 9–Atomic Structure and Periodic Trends (L9)
In this lab students will observe how atomic structure influences material properties and also how to predict the behaviors and interactions of matter based on the electronic structures of atoms.
Flinn At-Home Live Lab 10–Thermodynamics (L10)
In this lab students will explore why chemical reactions and physical processes occur, how we can measure the energy changes associated with chemical reactions, and how we can apply the ideas of thermodynamics to build useful products like hand warmers, flameless ration heaters and cold packs.
Flinn At-Home Live Lab 11–Oxidation-Reduction and Electrochemistry (L11)
Join us for this lab as we explore redox chemistry by observing what happens when we combine metals with aqueous solutions of metal cations. We will also observe examples of how oxidation-reduction reactions are used in everyday technologies such as batteries and cell phones.
Flinn At-Home Live Lab 12–Gases in the home (L12)
Join Dr. Mike Marvel on a tour of the house to demonstrate everyday phenomena related to gases and their properties. Students will be able to access a Google Worksheet (link below) that will ask them to record a 1-2 sentence explanation of the phenomenon. As part of the live session we will come to a final explanation of the phenomenon.
Flinn At-Home Live Lab 13–Science in Your House (L13)
Exploring science students can do while at home to understand phenomena related to:
-
Intermolecular Forces
-
Chemical Reaction & The Ideal Gas Law
-
Thermal Conductivity
Flinn At-Home Live Lab 14–Science in Your House-Part 2 (L14)
Another lab in our special chemistry in the home series explores science students can do while at home while answering the questions:
-
Did you know you can pour a gas?
-
Why do people put salt on their driveways in winter?
-
What simple things can you do in your home to explore how a material's structure influences its properties?
Flinn At-Home Lab 15–Science in Your House: Part 3
Join Dr. Mike Marvel for another round of science in his home—exploring science students can do while at home to understand phenomena related to::
-
Chemical reactions and energy
-
Solutions
-
Pressure
Flinn At-Home Lab 16–Soaring to New Heights
Michelle Shafer, a science teacher and engineer, will teach students the principles of aeronautics with a virtual, interactive lab where students directly affect engineering design. This lab will reinforce:
-
Four forces of flight
-
Bernoulli’s Principle
-
Stability
-
Newton’s Laws

POGIL is a popular, research-based method of guided inquiry. It relies on teams of students interacting with an activity while an instructor facilitates their learning. As this face-to-face format is not currently possible for most instructors, must we give up on POGIL for now? The answer is "NO!"
In this webinar, three experienced POGIL practitioners and authors will introduce the three new POGIL Activity collections designed for middle school, early high school, ELL, and other students. Plus, Amy and Lori will share how they have been able to successfully use POGIL activities with different models of synchronous online instruction in very different middle school environments.

Using Zoom for POGIL Activities On-line: A Special Teacher Webinar
In this webinar, Laura Trout, a Chemistry teacher at Lancaster Country Day School in Lancaster, PA and editor-in-chief of the High School POGIL Initiative will walk you through how she uses Zoom to teach POGIL synchronously, incorporating actual video footage.
Special AP Webinar
Students and teachers who are using FLINNPREP can join us for this special session on preparing for the upcoming Advanced Placement exams. Learn preparation tips and how to access practice questions.
