A great way to learn about molecular structures is to make a model. Gumdrops and toothpicks are used to construct crystal models. The models are based on theories of crystal shapes that occur because of positive and or negatively charged...

Tenth graders write and balance chemical equations and make a PowerPoint presentation on synthesis reactions.

Students create a foldable to help them remember topics on chemical compounds. For this physical science lesson, students differentiate ionic and covalent compounds. Given certain compounds, they identify whether it's ionic or covalent.

Students study vocabulary based on chemistry terms by creating flash cards.  For this scientific vocabulary lesson, students utilize a chemistry word or phrase to create a card which uses the term, describes it in the student's...

Students are assigned to groups, and determine each member's role in the group. They will design an experiment to determine a way to produce the three primary and five secondary colors. Students discuss color and mood. They listen to a...

Students define what a redox reaction is. In this chemistry instructional activity, students electroplate some wires in the lab. They research the application of electroplating in the real world.
