E3 Project
Students investigate excited electrons. In this chemistry lesson plan, students will go through a series of activities designed to help them understand how excited electrons emit different colors of light.
Curated OER
Charge and Current
Students explore how all matter is made up of atoms and how they have different charges. In this current lesson students complete several word problems and see how the rate of flow of electric charges works.
Curated OER
If My Configurations are Correct
Students write the electron configuration of elements in the ground state. In this chemistry lesson, students draw how subatomic particles are arranged in the atom. They construct Lewis dot diagrams of valence electrons.

Magnetism
Pupils study magnetism. For this science lesson, students participate in an activity to discover how electrons in a magnet move. Pupils identify items around the classroom that are magnetic.
Curated OER
Magnetic Experiment
Third graders experiment with magnets. In this magnet experiment lesson, 3rd graders explore magnetic attraction and repulsion. Students rotate through four stations and investigate the properties of magnets.
Curated OER
Isotopes and Ions
Students examine the concepts of isotopes and atoms. For this powerpoint lesson, students see the balance in numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons create isotopes and ions of certain atoms.

Atomic Structure
In this atomic structure worksheet, students use the periodic table to complete a chart for 11 elements/ions in terms of atomic number, number of protons, neutrons and electrons.
Curated OER
Changing an atom
In this atoms worksheet, students add or subtract an electron, neutron, or proton from the given atom and then fill in what kind of element it is. Students fill in 4 blanks.
