Lesson Plans and Worksheets
I work with students that range from year 1 to year 12, approx 30 with various Special Needs and esl. Because of the range in year levels and subjects covered it is impossible to find time to make my own resources for many of the lessons. Lesson Planet has become a realiable source to gain information and ideas.

Solutions Lesson Plans
Find teacher approved Solutions lesson plan ideas and activities
Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concepts related to solution chemistry. They calculate the molar mass of various chemical compounds. Then students predict the anion ratio for ionic compounds. Students also write the proper chemical formula name and formula.
Learners examine the observed world, molecular world, and the symbolic world of chemistry. They observe a demonstration of the conductivity of solutions, describe the properties of acids and bases, and predict the outcome of solution reactions.
Tenth graders research two ways to test the water quality near their home. In this chemistry lesson, 10th graders determine the short and long term effect of different substances on aquatic ecosystems. They conduct tests and write a conclusion based on experimental results.
Pupils determine differences in concentrations. They have to state the problem they feel exists, consider possible solutions, and develop a plan to come up with for containers whose labels have fallen off. Students base this off the solubility of the solution and propose answers as to what they think is actually in the bottle.
Students investigate soap bubbles. In this soap bubble chemistry instructional activity, students observe a demonstration using pop-it beads to represent a soap molecule. Students produce soap bubbles in the lab by making bubbles with a large bubble maker. Students use geometric wire models to investigate planes, lines and angles produced when the lines and planes intersect.
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 examine solubility and the significance of water. In this aqueous solution lesson students complete a lab activity on soil profiles.
Young scholars investigate the pH of solutions and they learn how to use different types of indicators. In this pH lesson plan, students test various solutions with pH paper and determine if they are acidic, basic or neutral. They also test solutions with a pH meter and natural indicators such as juice. Young scholars draw models of hydronium ions, hydroxide ions and water molecules to show the differences in ions present in acids, bases and neutral solutions.
Students investigate the carbon dioxide content of different sodas. In this chemistry lesson plan, students explain why PET containers are preferable than HDPE for soda bottles. They collect data and graph them.
Ninth graders investigate the effect of different gases in the atmosphere. In this chemistry lesson, 9th graders explain how these gases contribute to global warming. They suggest possible solutions to this growing problem.
