Level: High School Science
Description: This lesson plan was developed to help students understand the operation
of a QCM (quartz crystal microbalance) by way of analogy to an inertial balance.
Developed by: Larry Johnson (chemistry teacher - Aptos High School, Aptos, CA)

The Long and Short of Elastomers
Level: High School Science
Description: This lesson plan establishes how the effect of temperature on elastomers differs from that of most other materials (including other polymers) and explains why these differences occur in terms of polymer behavior.
Developed by: Larry Johnson (chemistry teacher - Aptos High School, Aptos, CA)

What’s That Smell? - A Lesson on Polymer Out-gassing
Level: High School Science
Description: This lesson plan makes students more aware of polymers and the chemical make-up of polymers in our lives. It also introduces them to the phenomenon of out-gassing and shows how that phenomenon can be both hazardous and helpful.
Developed by: Larry Johnson (chemistry teacher - Aptos High School, Aptos, CA)
