Students investigate the structure of the atom and its composition. In this atom structure lesson, students find the area of cut out circles and drop pens into the circles. They count the number of marks in the circles and relate their...

In this atomic trend learning exercise, students answer questions about trends in the periodic table such as ionization energy, atomic radii and electronegativity. They are given tables of elements and ions and they must identify which...

In this atom learning exercise, students fill in three charts using the periodic table to identify atomic number, atomic mass, number of subatomic particles and the element's symbols. Students draw an atom and it's subatomic particles as...

In this science instructional activity, students write short answers for questions on planets, oceans, elements, and more. Students complete 20 questions.

It's all in the family with this presentation! The halogen, alkali metal, and noble gas families are introduced to young chemists along with characteristic properties and colorful diagrams of electron shells. Viewers are then taught how...

Every type of question is used to query young chemists about atomic structure. A vocabulary list tops the page before fill in the blanks, true/false, and matching questions are listed. This is a neatly formatted and pertinent worksheet...

What are alloys, and why do we use them? Through a series of interactive puzzles, scholars examine the components and uses of several common alloys. The accompanying teacher's resources provide support in using the lesson, printable...

Molecules to the Max! refers to a movie released in 2009 about the world of atoms and molecules. A helpful discovery guide provides five posters on science topics typically covered at the middle school level. It also explains the...

Students describe how elements are arranged in the periodic table. They compare metals, nonmetals, and metalloids based on their properties and on their location in the periodic table. Finally, students identify and describe the...

Students identify the concept of an element and work with an idea that all of the millions of substances on the earth are various combinations of only 8 elements. They work with the Periodic Table of the Elements and symbols of the...

Ninth graders review and discuss the Periodic table and its 53 elements. They choose one element to become an expert on and then create a written Report in the form of a poster about their choosen element to be presented to the class.

In this chapters 2 and 3 science guided reading worksheet, students read corresponding material pertaining chemical reactions and the periodic chart answering 40 fill in the blank questions.

In this Bohr model worksheet, students draw 16 diagrams given atoms in the periodic table and must show the energy level diagrams indicating the electrons in each energy level.

A short slide show to display the characteristics of group 13 on the periodic table of elements. The atomic structure and reasons for their physical and chemical characteristics are not explained, and so this would only be an...

Giving a clear review of the basic properties of the metals in groups one and two on the periodic table, this slide show would be useful for early learners of chemistry. Your class will learn about the trends down the groups, such...

Words, words, words! This presentation uses plenty of them to define the atom, outline the history of what we know about atoms, and explain atomic and mass numbers. That's all! Informative, but not interesting, this slide show would be...

In this atoms instructional activity, students use their knowledge of the periodic table and of atomic structure to complete the table on atoms. They identify the notation for each and then the atomic number, mass number, the number of...

Watch budding chemists interact with the resource on chemical interactions. In the unit, six lessons provide an overview of basic chemistry, from understanding the development of atomic theory to distinguishing between ionic and covalent...

Students study the different types of metals.  In this investigative lesson students watch a demonstration on the effects of temperature on atoms and take a tour through baone matter.

In this chemistry instructional activity, students classify each chemical compound as a ketone, amine, aldehyde, or ether. Students also write a condensed formula and classification for the given organic products.

In this chemistry activity, students sketch several diagrams of different peptide chains. Students sketch diagrams of galactose and fructose.

Students identify and describe transition metals. They discuss alloys and their benefits. Students research one common, alloy, its composition, properties, and uses. They are asked for some common properties of most transition metals....

Fifth graders examine the carbon cycle, periodic table, and photosynthesis and respiration. They analyze the periodic table and how it is organized, then complete the "Elementary, Dear Watson" worksheet. Students then examine a carbon...
