No practice problems are given on this handout; it is a detailed list of concepts to know and tips for working related problems in chemistry. Give this to learners as a study guide, or use it early in your career as a chemistry...

Student teams use a digital camcorder and iMovie to create a commercial about an element. They also use the Internet and their textbook to gather the following information about their element: the name, the symbol, the atomic number, the...

In this chemistry instructional activity, students complete an adopt an element information sheet. Then they create an advertisement for their element including the information listed. Students also write its important uses, interesting...

In this isotopes worksheet, students find the average atomic mass given the masses of two isotopes. They also calculate the atomic mass of elements given the percentages of each isotope.

In this periodic trends worksheet, students solve ten problems related to elements in the periodic table. Students write electron configurations for atoms and they compare elements and their periodic trends.

Students investigate the structure of the atom and its composition. In this atom structure lesson, students find the area of cut out circles and drop pens into the circles. They count the number of marks in the circles and relate their...

Learners investigate how to determine the percent composition of a mineral in an ore. For this mining an ore lesson plan, students use chocolate chips cookies to represent an ore and they remove precious minerals (the chocolate chips)...

Students investigate the Periodic Table of Elements. In this chemistry lesson, students use a post of the Periodic Table to identify the mass number, atomic number, and atomic symbol. Students create a Podcast to "advertise" a specific...

In this nuclear decay learning exercise, high schoolers read about alpha and beta decay and the isotopes formed by the reactions. Students solve nine problems including writing the equations for the decay of radioactive isotopes,...

In this atom worksheet, students review the subatomic particles, the scientists associated with the atomic theory, and the periodic table. This worksheet has 15 matching, 24 fill in the blank, and 11 short answer questions.

In this history of the atom instructional activity, students answer questions about Thomson's cathode ray apparatus, Rutherford's gold foil experiment and Dalton's beliefs about the atom. Students identify the number of protons, neutrons...

In this moles worksheet, students read about mass, formula mass and moles. They calculate the masses of given numbers of moles of compounds and they calculate the number of moles of given masses of compounds.

Here is a six-page exploration that will spark interest in the periodic table of elements. After reading a diagram-supported explanation of the periodic table's organization, pupils answer questions to familiarize themselves with it. To...

On this physics handout, pupils read about the Hadron Collider used to make new sub-atomic particles by accelerating protons. They solve 6 math problems that include translating electron volts to Joules. This is geared toward high school...

For this molecules worksheet, students review the parts of an atom and use element mass to determine isotopes. Students give the group, period, and classification for the given elements. This worksheet has 6 short answer questions and 17...

For this moles worksheet, students read about mole and learn how to calculate the number of moles in specific mass of compounds. This worksheet has 14 problems to solve.

Students research the use of the atomic bomb in WWII, analyze the human costs of dropping the bomb and identify the pros and cons. They develop a PowerPoint presentation on the effects of an atomic bomb dropped on their hometown.

In this atoms worksheet, students complete 58 questions about the atomic radius of atoms, the ionization energy, the valence electrons, metals, non-metals and semi-metals and the families of elements.

In this atom worksheet, students read about Dalton's contributions to the structure of the atom. They answer five questions about Dalton's ideas, the law of multiple proportions and the law of definite proportions.

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

You matter—unless you multiply yourself by the speed of light squared, then you energy! Scholars learn about matter, energy, the elements and so much more using an informative presentation. Completing the included worksheet creates a...

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.

Chemistry classes will appreciate this color-coded, single-page reference sheet for The Standard Model of particle physics. It is divided into two main sections: elementary particles and compound particles, both with their antiparticles....

What's the difference between a rock and a mineral? And what properties are used to identify minerals? The first installment of a five-part series on earth materials and processes prompts young scientists to identify a set of...
