The 2009 version of the first part of a national chemistry competition is posted for your use with olympiad hopefuls. Test takers deal with 60 multiple choice questions covering an entire year of chemistry curriculum. Use this to...

This is a stellar overview of everything light and quantum! There are 30 multiple choice questions, none of them requiring any mathematical computation. There are a few diagrams to analyze: light rays striking reflective and refractive...

Students describe properties of various elements. They arrange the elements based on properties in order to explain the organization of the periodic table. They label elements as metal, non-metal, or metalloid.

In this science worksheet, students identify different parts of one element from the periodic table. Students also complete a chart by writing the appropriate characteristics for metals, metalloids, and nonmetals.

Young scholars investigate the periodic properties of elements in the periodic table. For this periodic properties lesson plan, students experiment with elements from the Alkaline Earth Metals, the Halogens, the Transition Metals, and...

For this periodic table and elements worksheet, students review valence electrons, octet rule, oxidation number, and the difference between metals and non-metals on the periodic table. This worksheet has 5 matching, 20 fill in the blank,...

Extensive notes on foundational chemistry concepts make up this resource. It summarizes the properties of matter, the periodic table, chemical nomenclature, and general chemical bonding. Design a set reading comprehension questions to go...

Students identify how to relate the position of an element in the periodic table to its atomic number and atomic mass. They identify how to use the periodic table to identify metals, semimetals, nonmetals, and halogens, and also,...

Students are introduced to the periodic table. They find the common trends among the electron configurations and the names of certain groups of the table. Students explore the atomic mass, atomic number, mass number, mass and charge...

In this periodic table worksheet, students color code the periodic table to show groups of elements, the states of elements, if they are man-made or synthetic elements, if they are radioactive and the number of electrons in their outer...

This compendious collection of slides leaves no questions when it comes to the concept of atomic size. Thorough and easy-to-read graphs, tables, and graphics explain atomic radii, the shielding effect, the octet rule, isoelectric...

If you use this as an outline for your chemistry lecture on metals, your young chemists will absorb a well-rounded overview. This is not a worksheet per se, but a useful summary of the behavior of metals. Save yourself some planning and...

Referring to the periodic table of elements, nuclear physics learners determine the resulting elements of alpha and beta decay. Answers are given in atomic notation, showing the atomic symbol, mass, atomic number, and emission particles....

Explore carbon and bonding with this worksheet. First, class members read a short excerpt about carbon and its characteristics. In response to the reading, they draw an electron dot diagram of carbon as well as diagrams of compounds...

In this elements worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by writing in the correct symbol for the 12 elements given.

In this research worksheet, 10th graders locate the answers to 3 questions about elements, compounds, and the half-life of elements. They write short answers on the chart.

In this science worksheet, learners use words from a word bank to fill in 25 blanks in a cloze story about compounds and elements.

How do scientists identify which elements originate from meteorites? Scholars learn about a sample of material found in a remote location, analyzing the sample to determine if it might be from Earth or not. They study elements, isotopes,...

In this science quiz:  chemical elements learning exercise, students name the correct symbol for the first 110 chemical elements in the periodic table,  with the answers given at the bottom of the page.

Eighth graders explore information about the periodic table of elements. Using the Internet, 8th graders choose one element to research. They complete an "Adopt and Element" information sheet. Using Microsoft Word, students create an...

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...

In this chemistry review worksheet, students identify chemical changes, isotopes, ions, and chemical bonds. This worksheet has 32 multiple choice questions.

Eighth graders investigate objects for a specific element from the Periodic Table.  In this elemental photography lesson, 8th graders observe for and object and photograph it. Students use photographs to prepare a multimedia...

In this elements worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by comparing the elements' melting point, boiling point, density, and electronic configuration. Students determine the characteristics of Group 7 elements. This worksheet...
