Lesson Plans and Worksheets
Lesson Planet has been a lifesaver in assisting me with planning great lessons for my students. It has helped me to see what other teachers are using to engage their students in learning.

Electronegativity Lesson Plans
Find teacher approved Electronegativity lesson plan ideas and activities
Students perform a lab activity to help further their knowledge of the differences in property of ionic, covalent, and metallic substances. They use the electronegativity of elements to determine whether a bond between those elements is ionic or covalent.
Students identify the type of bonding between two atoms of elements given their electronegativity values. They study the trend of electronegativity across the periodic table in small groups.
Students prepare to make a Periodic Table of Elements that displays element name and symbol, atomic number, atomic weight, electronegativity, electron configuration and electron dot structure. They complete their table and then frame it.
Learners explore the different techniques used in forensic science. In this chemistry lesson, students investigate a fictional crime and identify the culprit. They create a brochure or collage career bulletin.
Students study the difference between a mixture and a compound. They review filtration and distillation and then explore chromatographic separation. They complete an experiment in which they use chromatography to identify the active ingredients in over-the-counter analgesics.
Students study the reaction on iron in water, air, and sodium chloride. They create a situation that shows this process and gives them the opportunity to hypothesize what, why, and how. They keep records and do an oral and written presentation on how the results supported or disproved their hypothesis.
Students construct a periodic table using felt strips as elements by arranging elements based on their characteristics. For this periodic table lesson plan, students place colored strips of paper that represent elements in the proper location on a piece of felt that represents the periodic table. Clues are given on the periodic table to guide students. Students discuss family, groups, periods and series as they relate to the periodic table.
Students identify and label each of the elements in the periodic table with their names, atomic number and atomic masses, by playing a game of Jeopardy.
Students identify the mystery element using their graphing calculator and the periodic App. In this chemistry lesson, students follow directions on the lesson to collect data and identify the mystery element. They determine the electron configuration and the atomic number of the element.
Students engage in a lesson that is about the concept of counting the electrons that correspond to the elements found in the periodic table of elements. They create their own table and correlate the group names with the right elements.
