Tired of blowing up countless balloons to illustrate orbital shapes around an atom? Give your lungs a break and use an interactive instead! Learners observe s, p, d, and f orbitals through the first four energy levels using hydrogen as a...

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. 

It's all relevant, really. Individuals use the scientific method to learn more about elements, atoms, and their placement on the periodic table. They conduct experiments using materials common in nature to explore how elements affect our...

Prove the Law of Conservation of Mass through a lab investigation. A well-designed activity asks groups to combine materials and monitor indicators for chemical reactions. Measuring the mass of the reactants and products allows...

Learners explore how to show evidence of subshells and electron filling on the visual scale. They examine subshell filling and evaluate unknowns based on the atomic emission spectrum. Students design an experiment to identify colors of...

In this chemistry science activity, students identify the parts of a chemical reactions. Students name the major particles of the atom. Students apply knowledge about the atom, theories, and models.

Students write a hypothesis and complete a lab.  For this investigative lesson students complete their lab and a worksheet about energy. 

Learners practice drawing Lewis dot structures, build molecules with model kits, and predict molecular shapes using VSEPR theory. The combination of written work and hands-on reinforcement benefits young scientists.

Students define vocabulary related to the parts of the atom.  In this matter lesson, students navigate the web to find the structure and the forces that affect atoms.  Students complete an experiment with positive and...

Students research the solar cycle. In this Science lesson, students use the internet to investigate the solar cycle. Students produce a spreadsheet and graph from the information collected.

Students watch instructor present demonstrations of the basic principles of static electricity, and then conduct some of their own experiments. In small groups, students build simple circuits, using batteries, to try to light up a light...

This lab is designed to allow students to look at the connection between the gap between two energy levels and the frequency of the light that is given off when an electron traverses this gap.
