2. STEAM Laboratory Activities for the Classroom: Focus on Chemistry Stephen J. Wolf, PhD Dr. Wolf has spent his career as a middle and high school chemistry and physics teacher since 2001. His goal has always been to challenge students to succeed while exploring the world around them. Understanding relationships between variables is a vital skill, which Dr. Wolf addresses in his laboratory activities. Teamwork is also important, so students work in groups to complete their tasks.Dr. Wolf has a penchant for fantasy. Magic always fascinated him, and science was a way to explain those magical aspects in the world around him. Why do fireworks light different colors? How does a clock reaction work? Why don't oil and water mix unless soap is added?With his love of fantasy, Dr. Wolf has written numerous books, including his Red Jade saga, the Starsword trilogy, Choose- the-Fate stories, Kershin the Fire Mage, and more. He also codes in JavaScript and wrote three books to teach students the basics by creating mini apps or by coding larger games. Teacher Notes Page Each lab activity contains a Teacher Notes page. This section includes an introduction to the lab, the time frame, the materials per group, additional notes as appropriate, a suggestion of how to present the lab to the class, and some discussion items. Some note pages also include background information regarding the topic, such as definitions or deeper explanations into the science. Lab Introduction Lab sheets follow the scientific method, offering a problem, asking for some research, seeking a hypothesis, introducing the experiment, conducting analysis of the data, and summarizing in a conclusion. Procedures are detailed and should be walked through with the class before proceeding

Data tables generally focus on one independent variable, but some will introduce more than one, which adds another dimension to the data being collected. Analysis should not be completed until data has been collected. Analysis Analysis and conclusion questions follow the activities, giving students a chance to reflect on the data and the process. In many cases, graphs can be included to help visualize trends in the data. Conclusion questions may also ask students for ideas to improve the lab, for other variables to be tested, or for errors that should have been controlled for. These can lead to adaptations of the labs for the future. Teacher Notes Lab Introduction Data Collection Analysis
