In this atom, element, and atom worksheet, students will read descriptions of each and then use this information to fill in the blanks of 4 questions.

For this periodic table worksheet, high schoolers make their own periodic table using 12 given elements and their properties. Students use these elements to arrange them into the proper periods and families based on their properties.

In this naming chemical compounds worksheet, high schoolers are given 10 pairs of elements that bond and students write the formulas and the names of each compound. High schoolers practice writing the formulas for compounds given the...

Learners assess how to go from writing ionic chemical formulas to nomenclature and naming chemical compounds. They brainstorm former studies and share their thoughts in small groups. A list of everyday products (shampoos, toothpaste,...

For this minerals worksheet, learners read about the relationship between elements, rocks and minerals. They experiment using 6 different colored gumdrops to represent 6 common elements. Students construct gumdrop and toothpick models of...

In this classification of matter instructional activity, students answer 5 questions about the composition of matter, solutions, colloids and suspensions, and the properties and changes of matter.

In this periodic table worksheet, students create an advertisement for a chemical group or family they are assigned. They need to include topics such as are the elements solids, liquids or gases at room temperature, the history of the...

In this science worksheet, students use explore the crime of the missing elements in order to become more familiar with the Periodic Table.
