Curated OER
Activity #5 Environmental Effects
Students explain the implications of particle theory of The Law of Conservation of Matter for problems of pollution and waste disposal. They describe, in terms of atoms and molecules, what happens to materials when they are dissolved or...

Molecular Recognition and the Immune Response
Young scholars explore the importance of molecular shape and charge in molecular-recognition. They examine the interaction between antigens and antibodies. Students design and build 3-D visual models to represent molecular-recognition...
Curated OER
Matter
Fifth graders investigate the structure of matter. They examine pictures of atoms and molecules and discuss their relationships, and construct a model of a molecule using toothpicks and gumdrops.
Curated OER
Weather through the Seasons
Students examine the year's cycles by observing the four seasons, their distinctive weather patterns that affect our activities and the weather changes that each brings. The fourteen lessons of this unit offer a good opportunity for the...
Curated OER
DNA Jewelry Models
Students construct a model of DNA to learn DNA structure and decode it to better explain protein synthesis. They also have an actual badge made out of beads of their DNA literacy to wear or use.
Curated OER
The Physical Setting
Ninth graders study the configuration of atoms in molecules to see that it determines the molecule's properties. In this chemistry lesson students divide into groups and complete their assigned task.
Curated OER
The Physical Setting
Tenth graders examine chemical reactions. In this chemistry lesson students choose an investigation that they wish to perform based on their interest.
Curated OER
Combination of Atoms
In this atoms learning exercise, students review protons, neutrons, electrons, molecules, compounds, and ions. This learning exercise has 10 fill in the blank and 3 problems to solve.
Curated OER
Creating Bonds
In this creating bonds activity, students create 2-D and 3-D models of the molecular formula provided. Students complete a chart of information about the molecular formula given.
Curated OER
Nutrient Biochemistry
In this nutrient biochemistry worksheet, students complete the blanks with information about nucleic acids and the process. Students also draw a figure referenced in the text given.
