Students research and define an atom using a concept map. They design and create a model of an atom, labelling all the parts, and write a journal entry.

Young scholars investigate how information about the atom has been determined. In this atomic structure lesson plan, students draw what they think an atom looks like. They conduct Internet research about the types of atomic models and...

In this chemistry worksheet, students use the periodic table to complete the chart shown, filling in all of the missing information in the blank spaces. They identify and describe various elements found in the periodic table.

A flashy PowerPoint includes clear summaries of atomic structure and electronic configuration. Dot and cross diagrams will help viewers learn how to draw an atom. As a result, learners should be more clear how electronic configuration...

Young scholars explore scientific theories and the works of scientists.  In this chemistry instructional activity students develop a timeline  that shows how scientists work was built on the ones before them. 

Abracadabra! Provide your class with the tools to perform a chemical "magic show" as they predict the charges of various ions, determine ionic compound formulas, and make observations to determine when a chemical reaction between...

Thanks to this game, teaching isotopes will never be the same. Physical science scholars work their way toward understanding isotopes in an entertaining game. Pupils play rummy in groups while practicing good sportsmanship and creating...

Bring a historic chemistry experiment to life in your classroom! Introduce pupils to Thompson's ground-breaking discovery of the electron through a cathode ray simulation. The resource allows users to study the behavior of both electrons...

Get a charge out of a great resource! Scholars use an interactive to explore addition and subtraction of integers. They add or remove electrons in an atom model to consider its charge.

Did you know many insects use cohesion or surface tension to walk on water? Using a presentation, scholars learn the more important properties of water. It extends into the concepts of solutions, suspensions, pH, and more.

Objects are larger (or smaller) than they appear! Scholars use a laboratory investigation to explore the difference between resolution and magnification. The activity allows them to calculate the size of the field of view of their light...

Here is an engaging and hands-on lesson plan that allows high school chemists to demonstrate the effects of a catalyst on various chemicals. They garner knowledge of how reactants and products differ from one another, while...

Elementary schoolers discover how electricity travels and create an electron flow through a closed circuit. They work together to make a closed circuit and observe the electricity being made. This outstanding lesson plan is well worth...

Students create atoms with clay by using different colors to represent the protons, neutrons and nucleus. In this creative lesson students use clay to learn about atoms and see how they apply to the periodic table.

In this atoms crossword puzzle, students read 15 questions about atoms and fit the answers into a crossword. This difficult puzzle has no word bank.

In this electron worksheet, students read about how atoms lose and gain electrons and how they become ions. They are given a table with nine elements and they give the electron configuration, the number of electrons, the number of...

In this matter and atoms learning exercise, high schoolers will fill in the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons for five different atoms. Then students will fill in the blanks of five statements with words from a word bank....

In this atoms worksheet, learners answer four different sets of questions related to atoms (fill in the blank, multiple choice, word puzzle and true and false).

In this atom worksheet, high schoolers answer 31 multiple choice questions about the structure of atoms, the periodic table, the reactivity of elements, orbital diagrams and the families of elements.

Students roll dice in order to simulate the probability of locating an electron in a certain region around the nucleus.

In this atom activity, students learn about the scanning tunneling microscope and answer questions about its use, how it works and its ability to see electrons in atoms.

Atomic theory, a periodic table, and a place to practice making atom models without having to draw every proton, neutron, electron, and orbital! This resource is colorful, visually pleasing, and easy to use. 

Upcoming chemists construct atom or molecule models out of candy. This is a classic idea that learners really enjoy; however, this lesson plan is vague. There is no instruction about the structure of atoms or molecules. Make sure you...

In this atom molecule worksheet, students will use a boron atom diagram to answer three fill-in-the-blank questions. Then students will label the protons, neutrons, and electrons on an oxygen atom diagram.
