Is your stoichiometry lesson plan just not adding up? Incorporate an exciting interactive to balance things out! Chemistry scholars manipulate the number of molecules added to the reaction vessel, then observe as bonds form and break as...

Is copper found as a raw material? Science sleuths manipulate the reactants and products found in the copper extraction process in a series of fun puzzles. The interactive engages learners in pairing formulas with their names while using...

Looking for a simple way to teach conservation of energy in chemical reactions? Pupils can observe energy changes as water forms during a chain reaction between oxygen and hydrogen using an interactive. The resource instructs users to...

Do you have mole problems? If so, call Avogadro at 602-2140. The lesson starts with pupils working independently to solve for molar mass of ionic compounds. Then they learn to solve for percent composition and later perform an...

What do you get when you combine precipitate reactions with puzzles? Maximize the engagement in a single replacement reactions lesson by incorporating fun puzzles. Chemistry scholars observe the reaction between several sodium halides...

Once I told a chemistry joke, but there was no reaction. Get young chemists involved in changes and reactions with a presentation that begins with physical and chemical changes and chemical reactions. It moves on to chemical...

We know about the light spectrum, the age spectrum, and sound spectrum, but do chemical reactions also occur on a spectrum? Young scientists experiment with partial reactions on a spectrum and observe the color changes. Then, they...

Challenge young scientists to design their own experimental procedures. They write the procedure for properly preparing two grams of a water-insoluble ionic salt. To finish, they perform the experiment and collect data to prove their...

Communicate chemistry clearly with a concise guide to writing chemical equations. It covers everything from the parts of a chemical equation to the different types of reactions that budding chemists may encounter.

Can you go ice fishing in the ocean? Learners examine the freezing point of different saltwater solutions. Each solution has a different concentration of salt. By comparing the freezing points graphically, they make conclusions...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Drag the atoms from the table to create chemical formulas. You will need a sign-in to access this media, but it will be well worth your time!

In this activity, students explore reactions in which chemical bonds are formed and broken. Students experiment with changing the temperature and the concentration of the atoms in order to see how these affect reaction rates. They also...

A multiple-choice quiz on the processes of respiration and photosynthesis in plants.

Explore the analogy of sandwich making with several ingredients and see if anything is left over. Then do the same thing with reactants in a chemical reaction, to see how many different products can be made. Afterwards, play a game with...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Using atoms from a reactants pool, construct products of an equation shown and place them in the product pool. Then answer a challenge question about the topic.

Students analyze the chemical equation for the reaction between vinegar and baking soda. They observe that the gas produced in the reaction is also part of the products of the written chemical equation.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How do trees help you breathe? This activity covers the connection between cellular respiration and photosynthesis and identifies the products and reactants of each.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Before you can balance an equation, you need to count the number of each atom present in the reactants and products. Using the example that is shown here, apply the numbers and table to track how many...

After observing a demonstration of a chemical reaction between a burning candle and the oxygen in the air, students use atom model cut-outs to model the reaction and see that all the atoms in the reactants show up in the products.

Through informational text, interactive practice problems, video clips, and real-world application, students are introduced to the science of Stoichiometry.
