Measuring the Absorbance of Chlorophyll Solutions at Different Concentrations
by Reny Mathew
In this lesson, students will extract chlorophyll from spinach leaves and make different concentrations following the dilution method. Students will learn to compare the absorbance values obtained at various wavelengths using a spectrophotometer. They will understand that absorbance of a substance is directly proportional to its concentration in a solution. The goal of the lesson is to include investigating the linearity of the relationship and gaining insights into how changes in chlorophyll concentration affect absorbance.

Students pull wooden "sleds" with different masses on them over various types of surfaces with spring scales (force meters) to calculate the different coefficients of friction. Students graph the data
Grades:
2nd Grade, 3rd Grade
Students will research a biome around the world, including 3 animals, 3 plants, and 3 nonliving parts of the ecosystem. Students will construct a diorama of the biome and illustrate a natural disaster
