How can you effectively provide detailed concepts of water properties to your high school class in a way they find exciting and challenging at the same time? By letting them play, of course! Through a variety of...

In this chemistry worksheet, students complete the reactions by drawing structures of major products, indicating important minor products. They also write the structure of the product and describe the stereo chemistry of the product.

Twelve pages of text tells viewers about the physical properties and naming procedures for alcohols and ethers. A page is also dedicated to briefly describing phenols. This straightforward chemistry presentation comes to you as a PDF...

Students predict the shape of molecules using VSEPR theory. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate a polar and nonpolar molecule. They discuss why water's polarity is very important.

Students investigate the integrity and strength of different types of food wraps. They test the wraps and create a graphic organizer for the data. Once it is organized then a lab report can be written. The lesson contains background...

Sixth graders explore ways to analyze the properties of water and examine the chemistry of water.  In this water lesson students work in groups and complete several activities. 

Students explain the importance of the five main biogeochemical cycles. In this chemistry instructional activity, students discuss how ions are transported in the environment. They design an experiment to collect data on eutrophication.

Students calculate the concentration of different solutions. In this chemistry activity, students explain what a solution is. They explain ways to change the concentration of a solution.

After a short introduction, chemistry aces get right into drawing electron dot diagrams for covalent bonds. There are only three questions to answer, so this is not a comprehensive instructional activity. It can be used when introducing...

In this compounds worksheet, students draw the Lewis dot structure for given compounds plus determine the electron geometry, type of hybrid, molecular geometry, polarity, and number of sigma and pi bonds. This worksheet has 5 fill in the...

Students work together to explain the VSEPR theory and how it relates to molecules. They name electron pairs that can surround the central atom of an organism. They discuss the factors that determine the polarity of a molecule as well.

How can organisms light up in water? Bioluminescence is light produced in a chemical reaction that can occur in an organism's body. First, learners determine what happens to light/color as you move into the deep ocean. In groups, they...

In this bonding worksheet, high schoolers read about the types of bonds that hold compounds together. They are given fifteen common materials and they identify the types of bonds that hold each together.

In this water activity, students read about hydrogen bonds in water and the differences in electronegativity between the oxygen atom and the two hydrogen atoms in water. Students answer four questions about the structure of water and the...

Students separate a mixture of pigments with ion exchange chromatography and predict whether the ion-exchange matrix is positively or negatively charged based on the type of pigment bonded to the matrix.

Learners explore solubility of gases in water, Henry's Law, LeChatelier's Principal, and supersaturation of gases in water.

Ionic and covalent bonds are the focus of this chemistry activity, which provides students with eighteen key terms to use in a fill-in-the-blank activity. Additionally, students are prompted to write the number of atoms in four given...

In this acids and bases worksheet, students read about what happens when an acid or base is added to water. Students complete 6 short answer questions.

In this water and diffusion worksheet, students will explore the characteristics of water and the water molecule. Students will also answer questions about diffusion and the movement of materials due to concentration differences. This...

Students play a "Biochemistry Taboo" game using their knowledge of Biological chemistry and taboo cards. This lesson plan can be used as a review or an introduction into concepts covered in Biochemistry and includes a pre-activity...

An organized table charting the different types of chemical bonds arrays this resource. The octet rule, ionization energy, and the naming of compounds are also reviewed. Young chemists answer review questions in multiple choice fashion....

Students observe crystals under the microscope. In this science lesson, students compare how the crystal look like using their eyes, hand lens and microscope. They identify the type of crystal based on the amount of light they allow to...

In this solubility and intermolecular force worksheet, high schoolers are given 26 clues about forces between molecules such as hydrogen bonds and London forces and about solubility of solutions.

In this crystals worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by filling in the characteristics of the different crystal types including melting/boiling point and electrical conductivity.
