Eighth graders identify the types of bonds elements form. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders represent valence electrons with dot structures. They draw and label different atoms.

High schoolers understand the difference between four different types of chemical reactions: composition, synthesis, single replacement, and double replacement and identify the type of reaction and predict the products of these types of...

For this making atoms science worksheet, learners read about the atomic number of protons, finding the number of neurons, and how electrons function before they complete the atom board graphic organizer and respond to 4 short answer...

For this chemistry worksheet, students describe an atom, its parts, the charges of these parts, and atoms life functions. Then they explain what the octet rule states for the placements of electrons around the nucleus of an atom....

In this drawing Lewis structures worksheet, students read about the 5 steps taken to draw Lewis structures for atoms and molecules. These include identifying the valence electrons, placing pairs of electrons between atoms to be bonded,...

Eighth graders sort items as they are shown one at a time by the teacher. They attempt to identify the one physical trait the teacher is looking for (metal and not metal). After several objects have been shown and placed in groups, the...

Students identify the properties of transition metals. In this chemistry lesson, students research facts and uses of one aluminum product they choose. They create an advertisement highlighting aluminum's useful properties.

Young scholars investigate how to determine the percent composition of a mineral in an ore. For this mining an ore lesson plan, students use chocolate chips cookies to represent an ore and they remove precious minerals (the chocolate...

For this naming binary compounds worksheet, learners are given 8 pairs of ions and they identify their oxidation numbers, their formula when the combine and the name of the compound. They are given 8 formulas and they identify the...

Students perform an experiment to show the chemical reactions that occur when metal corrodes. They apply the results of the experiment to the conservation efforts of art curators trying to restore an ancient Greek bronze. This lesson...

In this chemistry worksheet, students learn about matter, including atoms, electrons, protons, neutrons, compounds and chemical properties. They use this information to answer the 10 questions on the worksheet. The answers are on the...

In this compounds worksheet, students learn the rules for naming compounds, the stock system. Students apply these rules by writing the names or formulas for the 20 given compounds.

Eighth graders define a planet by the orbit around the sun, have a large enough gravitational force to hold a sphere shape and needs to clear the neighboorhood of it own orbital zone. They describe comets, meteoroids, meteor, meteorites...

In this chemistry worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle with 25 questions on chemical reactions. They identify common terminologies used in describing chemical reactions.

High schoolers recognize different consumer products, found in and around the home, that have reactive or denaturing properties when used together. They explore chemical and physical properties of each product by identifying chemical...

How do one's habits and lifestyle choices affect the environment? Through a short online survey, learners will calculate their own carbon footprints then determine how to reduce their impact on the environment through simple steps, such...

Seventh graders, in groups, complete an Isotopes model and notice that atomic masses are decimal numbers. These masses are an average of all the isotopes of that element.

Students explain the mole concept and use this concept to prepare chemical solutions of particular molarities.

Students write the electron configuration of elements in the ground state. In this chemistry lesson, students draw how subatomic particles are arranged in the atom. They construct Lewis dot diagrams of valence electrons.

Students research and write about the parts of a spider's body using educational software. They draw spiders using computer software.

Experiment with mass and density as scholars figure out what makes things float or sink. First, they watch a podcast introducing these concepts. Be sure to use the comprehension question to test their understanding. Young scientists...

Students determine what plasma is and why the sun is made up of plasma. They recognize situations where plasmas are found in nature and made by man. They discuss why the sun is a huge ball of plasma and if there are different levels of...

Students discuss metalloids, their use as semiconductors, and their impact on the computer industry. They work in groups to create a visual timeline showing the evolution of the computer.
