Elements and Electron Configuration
It's electronic! Pupils uncover elements and their electron configurations as they explore mass, groupings, correct charges, and sliding theory. Young scientists learn creative ways to remember various elements and correctly...
Curated OER
Atom Basics Test
Simple in format and standard in content, this resource is an assessment of your beginning chemists' grasp of the atom. Using a periodic table of elements, they fill in a chart of missing chemical formulas, atomic masses, and numbers of...
Curated OER
Electron Configuration Worksheet
In this chemistry learning exercise, students complete the table for each element by writing the electron configuration of the element and giving the values of the four quantum numbers. They also create an energy level diagram for their...
Curated OER
Why are Electrons Important?
Students write electron configuration of elements using atomic numbers and they identify valence electrons. In this electrons lesson plan, students observe a demonstration showing the space-filling property of an electron. They also...

Atomic Structure Worksheet
Teaching young scientists about atoms is no small task, but this series of worksheets will make it a little easier. From creating and labeling Bohr models, to identifying information provided in the periodic table of elements,...
Curated OER
Energy Levels and Electron Configurations
Twelfth graders investigate the proper filling order of electrons in the energy levels of an atom. They practice how to "read" these occupied energy levels as electron configurations and demonstrate their understanding through creative...
Curated OER
Electron Arrangement in Atoms
In this electron configuration worksheet, students fill in 10 blanks with the appropriate terms, they determine if 6 statements are true or false, they match 5 terms with their meanings and they answer two questions about electron...
