Study matter in a new way with a cross-curricular assignment for language arts and math. Learners answer five reading comprehension questions after reading a few paragraphs about the periodic table, properties of elements, and how atoms...

The ten slides in this presentation make a consice introduction to the halogen group of the periodic table of elements. The location of the group is displayed, and then the characteristics of the different halogen group members are...

Element groups are located in the periodic table by blinking on and off. A slide is then dedicated to each of the groups, explaining which elements are included and what common chemical properties they share. This topic is presented in...

Thirty multiple-choice questions and their answers are provided in this resource. It was written for a general chemistry course and queries test takers on scientific notation, mixtures, chemical symbols, electric charges, Dalton's atomic...

Don't overreact! A simple experiment demonstrates chemical reactions as scholars mix chemical solutions and metals in a large well plate. They note all changes to the metals, solutions, precipitate, colors, and more. A full data table...

Students identify the properties of a magnet. In this physics lesson, students explore the strength of the magnet by testing out how a magnet reacts to various materials. The various objects the students test include paper clips, paper,...

This PowerPoint provides a complete recap of all the information needed for a unit on elements and the periodic table. The seventy slides cover the basic notation of elements, energy levels and ionization energies. The trends in the...

Include a lab about alloys and magnets in your fourth grade science lesson. Young scientists read the necessary background knowledge about alloys, then choose which objects (a screw, a bell, scissors, or coins) will be attracted to...

I don't trust atoms because they make up everything. Budding scientists learn about famous scientists connected to atomic models, chemical, ionic, and hydrogen bonds. The presentation also presents how to count atoms...

How are chemical bonds similar and how are they different? Provide your young chemists with the resources to more thoroughly understand the concepts of ionic and covalent bonds. Pupils research these topics, diagram examples of each...

The health effects of mercury exposure if the focus of the first of three activities about the properties of metals. Pairs research mercury to write, prepare, and share posters, articles, or PSAs with the class. 

Because of the work of John Dalton, we are able to write formulas for compounds. The hands-on experiment has scholars prepare a compound from its elements. Using mass data, individuals write the empirical formula for the compound.

A short paragraph helps explain how covalent bonds are formed, and then your class will complete the Electron/Dot and Structural diagrams for the molecules given.  The valence diagrams will reinforce understanding. This activity...

Six slides summarize the details about group 14 in the periodic table, otherwise known as the carbon group. Young chemists will see facts about carbon itself, and then some general uses of related metalloids. This is a short and basic...

The trends in group 16 and the characteristic behavior of the elements involved are listed here. Their properties also help support their function. Explanations of the atomic structure and valence electron number are not included. Since...

Class members use the provided instructional activity to create a resume for one element from the periodic table. The activity teaches learners about all of the properties of elements and how to read the periodic table.

In this science worksheet, students use a periodic table to complete the first four rows of a chart. Students use the Internet or research books to complete the last column.

In this ionic bond worksheet, students read about the transfer of electrons from one atom to another in ionic bonds. They answer seven questions about sodium and chlorine and draw Bohr-Rutherford diagrams to show the bonding between...

In this reactions worksheet, high schoolers are given nine chemical reactions to identify as single replacement, double replacement, synthesis or decomposition reactions.

In this naming chemical compounds activity, students are given 9 lettered statements that they use to match with 10 statements about compounds. Students also review the rules for naming compounds by filling in 25 blanks to complete...

In this periodic table worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle given 22 clues about elements in the periodic table, periodic law, properties of elements and atomic mass and number. Students also fill in a periodic table to...

In this minerals and rocks worksheet, students answer questions about the chemistry of minerals, scratch tests, rocks and the rock cycle, and erosion and deposition.

Beginning chemists examine a collection of elements and compounds as they are introduced to the periodic table. The lesson plan is not cohesive and does not provide detailed instructions on how to teach it. However, it does includes a...

In this periodic table worksheet, students will label the atomic number, atomic mass, element name, and element symbol for oxygen. Then students will determine the characteristics of the different groups of elements on the periodic table...
