Students identify the four main types of reactions: synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, and double replacement. They explore the four main types of chemical reactions through an analogy of "Boy Meets Girl" and then "act out"...

High schoolers examine how to represent organic compounds three-dimensionally. They write a synthesis reaction for three demonstrations, and construct a three-dimensional structure using a molecular modeling set.

In this balancing chemical equations worksheet, learners solve 10 problems. They complete the reactions, name the type of reaction such as synthesis, decomposition, or single replacement and then balance the equation.

In this reactions worksheet, students predict the products of 10 equations given the reactants and the type of equation such as decomposition, synthesis or single displacement.

In this chemical equations worksheet, students predict the major organic products of given reactions. Students give the mechanism for reactions. Students also give the product for ozonolysis of given alkenes. This worksheet has 7...

From molecules to nanotubes, an engaging unit explores the world of tiny science. Fifteen hands-on experiments and lessons engage young scientists as they learn chemistry. Discussions, worksheets, and data analysis reinforce the concepts...

In this solutions worksheet, students balance chemical equations, classify reactions by the type of reaction it represents, and review the solubility rules. Students practice working out double displacement, neutralization, and dilution...

More extensive than just a general overview of digestion and reactions, this slide show gives information about all areas of enzyme function.  Topics like the chemistry behind efficiency of enzymes, factors that affect speed of...

Although their name makes them sound dangerous or toxic, carboxylic acids are found throughout nature in things such as citric acid, vinegar, and even in your DNA. Through detailed readings, discussions, and answering questions...

In this chemistry worksheet, students classify each chemical compound as a ketone, amine, aldehyde, or ether. Students also write a condensed formula and classification for the given organic products.

This relatively short PowerPoint contains all of the information necessary to give a clear summary of Photosynthesis. There are a few illustrations and clear descriptions of each stage of the main reactions.

In this balancing equations learning exercise, students use an on line source to answer questions about balanced equations and they write balanced equations for various types of reactions. They balance equations using an on line game...

Finding new drugs has been likened to finding a needle in a haystack. How do pharmaceutical companies do it? One of a small series of four informative leaflets examines combinatorial chemistry, the method at the forefront of new drug...

Classes continue their study of organic compounds in a detailed lesson covering alcohols, phenols, and ethers. Naming these compounds, classifying them, and describing their preparation and use are some of the topics covered. Through...

Advanced chemistry classes compare the polymerization of styrene using two different initators: benzoyl peroxide and aluminum chloride. Once they synthesize polystyrene, they compare the two producet for melting point and density. There...

Examine the mechanism of photosynthesis through different light scenarios. Pupils vary the amount and type of light exposure on plant leaves in the fifth lesson plan in a 12-part series. Through observation, they determine the rate of...

Study everything about plants! The 12-part series of lessons continues with an examination of many aspects of plants. Components of the laboratory activity address the growth and structure of plants by evaluating familiar plants. The...

Balancing equations is a foundational skill for starting chemists. There are a few slides in this PowerPoint with colorful diagrams that help to explain how. Unfortunately, the presentation begins with an unrelated table of contents and...

In this stoichiometry worksheet, students practice calculating moles, molarity, and the concentration of a solution in molarity. This worksheet has 12 multiple choice questions and 3 problems to solve.

This lab activity is geared toward experienced chemistry learners, in particular, those who are familiar with organic chemistry. They will create a synthetic elastomer  and then make observations and measurements of its different...

Students participate in a lab activity in which they synthesize nylon 6/6, calculate the percent yield by mass, identify the polymer as thermoplastic or thermoset, and determine the melting point, density and end-product use of the polymer.

This organic chemistry lab activity is appropriate for teaching polymerization, percent yield, melting point, or the types and uses of polymer materials. Chemistry pupils imagine that they are working for a company to develop a special...

How well can your class concentrate on solutions? Scholars use colorimeter absorption to explore a starch concentration calibration curve. They add iodine to different starch solutions to see how the concentration of the solution changes.

All life requires energy ... and the connection between energy and plant life typically requires photosynthesis. Scholars explore photosynthesis in depth from ATP/ADP through the Calvin cycle. A helpful presentation highlights concepts...
